The risk of headline-grabbing incidents, like Samsung’s ChatGPT data leak, related to AI usage outside of the authorization and control of IT (a.k.a. shadow AI) is clear. Most IT teams recognize that a high-profile incident can have serious repercussions. However, the risk of shadow AI goes well beyond the risk of a single incident. In fact, the recent Komprise IT Survey indicates that 79% of organizations have experienced negative outcomes from sending corporate data to AI.

The most challenging question in AI today isn’t how to build with it. It’s whether you can prove it’s worth what you’re spending on it. Every week, I hear the same thing from engineering and finance leaders: “We know the AI bills are big.

If your SaaS organization is experimenting with OpenAI, your cloud bill just got a new line item. And unless you know exactly what drives it, that line item can go from manageable to margin-killer, fast. It’s also worth clarifying that OpenAI is not the same as ChatGPT. ChatGPT is the familiar end-user app with a flat monthly subscription. OpenAI, meanwhile, is the platform behind it — a mix of models, features, and usage-based pricing that shifts depending on what you build.

Why the traditional model of monitoring and manual operations is collapsing–and what enterprises must do to survive The digital universe is expanding at a pace no enterprise can keep up with through traditional methods. Dependencies pull at each other in ways even experts can’t predict. What once could be managed with dashboards and siloed monitoring tools has become too vast, too interdependent, and too fast-moving, a new operating model is needed to master such complexity.

Europe’s open source ecosystem is at a turning point. The Linux Foundation’s Open Source as Europe’s Strategic Advantage: Trends, Barriers, and Priorities for the European Open Source Community amid Regulatory and Geopolitical Shifts report shows organizations across the continent are broadly adopting open source software (OSS). But adoption alone doesn’t guarantee resilience, innovation, or security.
