Rick Caccia, the CEO of WitnessAI, believes that generative AI can indeed be "safe." In an interview with TechCrunch, Caccia explained that securing AI models is a real problem, but it’s different from securing use.
The Problem with Securing AI Models
Securing AI models is a challenge that has garnered significant attention among researchers. However, Caccia emphasized that it’s not the only issue at hand. "I think of it like a sports car: having a more powerful engine — i.e., model — doesn’t buy you anything unless you have good brakes and steering, too," he said.
The Enterprise’s Concerns about Generative AI
While there is significant demand for generative AI among enterprises, there are concerns about its limitations. A recent survey by IBM found that 51% of CEOs are hiring for generative AI-related roles that didn’t exist until this year. However, only 9% of companies say they’re prepared to manage threats arising from their use of generative AI.
WitnessAI’s Solution
WitnessAI offers a platform that intercepts activity between employees and custom generative AI models used by their employer. The platform applies risk-mitigating policies and safeguards to prevent unauthorized access or misuse of sensitive data. WitnessAI sells access to several modules, each focused on tackling a different form of generative AI risk.
