Episode Description

In this episode of “The Business of Tech,” Dave Sobel shares four important updates. First, U.S. federal agencies are increasing their cloud and AI security measures in response to growing cyber threats. Second, the quarterly IT leadership report shows minimal change in racial and gender diversity. Third, a new report reveals that the top 25% most profitable solution providers are showing restraint in compensation increases. And finally, a judicial office endorses the usage of AI in courtrooms, emphasizing accuracy, verification, and privacy. Lastly, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technologies has issued guidance on differential privacy as a privacy-enhancing measure, fulfilling a mandate in President Biden’s executive order on artificial intelligence.
