Time for some weekend Big ideas.
Axios with an article discussing the concept of digital twins, which are virtual likenesses of humans or objects used for research. Tech companies believe that digital twin technology can unlock the potential of AI by making copies of our physiologies, personalities, and surrounding objects. The market for digital twins is predicted to grow significantly, with the healthcare industry driving its growth. LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman has created his own digital twin, Reid AI, using custom AI models. The article highlights the potential applications of digital twins in various industries and emphasizes their everyday utility in personalized healthcare and other statistics-heavy applications.
One Useful Thing with the need for organizations to consider the possibility of continued AI improvement in their strategic planning. While there is uncertainty about the future of AI, many insiders believe that achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is possible in the near term. The article emphasizes the importance of planning for multiple contingencies and highlights the current capabilities of AI systems. It also suggests using scenario planning techniques to explore different future possibilities and make informed decisions.
Runtime examines “The Sagging Shared-Responsibiliy Model.” The shared responsibility model in cloud computing security faces challenges in the modern security environment. Cloud providers need to do more to protect their customers, as sophisticated threats and automated attacks are straining the old model. While customers are responsible for securing access to their accounts, security experts argue that cloud providers should take on more responsibility. This may require vendors to accept more friction in the user experience and provide easier ways for customers to detect anomalous activity. Turning security into a competitive advantage could drive industry-wide improvements.
Why do we care?
Sometimes friction is good. Reminding you about security is one of those good friction points. It’s worth reexamining the shared responsibility model as threads become more complicated.
I’m not one to sign onto AGI being here soon. The article’s big takeaway for me is adding AI into your strategic planning process, both for you and your customers.
Throw in a little digital twin planning too.
