Since the first iterations of regulation around artificial intelligence (AI) emerged, the regulatory landscape has been a moving target. Yet it continues to lag significantly behind the rapid pace at which the technology is evolving. As a result, many enterprise leaders feel poorly equipped to handle the risks that AI poses to their business on their own – concerns that inevitably stream down to consumers.

In the AI Age, vendors want openness – but in some cases, only from others: they expect training data to be laid open for them to exploit at zero cost, and for no credit, even if the data’s originators don’t want their content used in that way. So, what is vendors’ key incentive and driver? “Innovation”. Or rather, more revenue, growth, profit, and paydirt for their impatient venture capitalists.

Big Tech may be able to breathe easier over European Union (EU) regulation. The latest draft of provisions for the generally-strict EU AI Act published Tuesday contains softer language, indicating less-than-debilitating penalties for large U.S. tech companies. At the same time, Apple Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc. are likely to face modest fines, if any, for allegedly violating the Digital Markets Act (DMA) aimed at reeling in their power.

A common theme as new, game-changing technologies emerge is a return to foundational paradigms that have shaped knowledge management. In the space of AI Agents, content management plays a key role in its success. Without quality, well-governed content, AI agents can produce inconsistent, inaccurate, or even non-compliant outputs, ultimately damaging customer trust and business reputation. Experts from Acrolinx joined KMWorld to discuss how to best prepare your content repositories for the benefits—and risks—of AI agents.

The financial data sector is changing at an unprecedented rate.

Florian, from Slator Pod, talks about Acrolinx’s leadership change, with Matt Blumberg becoming CEO and aiming to expand the AI-powered content governance platform’s presence in the US market.

As AI-driven tools become more prevalent and data enters corporate databases, the importance of information governance strategies has never been more critical. The urgency is real. A recent report from Acrolinx found 57% of the 162 Forbes Global 2000 customers surveyed view using AI tools as a risk, and three quarters say their companies regulate AI internally. Still, six out of 10 are unsure whether the introduction of AI in the workplace has increased or decreased transparency and decision making.

Two years ago, on Nov. 30, ChatGPT burst onto the scene, igniting a global fascination with generative AI and transforming it into a must-watch innovation for both consumers and technology professionals. Since then, ChatGPT has expanded, and the wheels of AI regulation have started to turn. TechRepublic asked tech professionals, including Acrolinx CPO Curt Raffi, how their work with ChatGPT has evolved, both personally and within the broader tech industry.
