AI tools like ChatGPT are revolutionising the way we work. They’re lightning-fast at interpreting data, summarising complex information, and generating high-quality content with precision.
Need a well-structured report? Done. Want insights from multiple sources in seconds? No problem. These tools don’t just speed up work—they multiply efficiency across the board.
But here’s the catch—while AI is sitting in our back pocket, ready to roll, many organisations aren’t quite sure how to use it. Some, like the Department of Education WA, have gone for the simplest solution: ban it altogether. Because, let’s face it, navigating AI’s impact is a tricky beast.
That leaves the big question in our hands: What is our AI strategy?
- Should we encourage everyone to use AI optimally? (Because let’s be honest, it’s not going away.)
- Do we set up AI training? (Because knowing how to use it well is half the battle.)
- What about cybersecurity and privacy risks? (What happens when someone unknowingly uploads classified information?)
- Can employees use any AI tool, or do we need security assessments first?
Our employees, customers, and stakeholders aren’t just waiting for us to decide—they’re waiting for clarity. What’s our AI adoption strategy? How are we balancing opportunities vs. risks?
Ignoring AI is not an option. The real question is: Are we taking charge of this shift, or letting it take charge of us?
