Most enterprises are still framing AI as a way to do what they already do, only faster. In this week's #shifthappens, Giovanni Piccirilli, Founder of Pepper Technology and former CTO of RTL Nederland, explains why agentic AI puts the strategy conversation back in the boardroom — and why leaders who delegate it to IT lose the chance to shape it. Giovanni walks through what serious adoption looks like, why automating today's complexity is the wrong ambition, and what a greenfield redesign of the enterprise actually requires. 🎧 Listen here via link in bio.

What if the biggest barrier to scaling AI isn’t the technology? In the next episode of #shifthappens, Giovanni Piccirilli, Founder of Pepper Technology, joins us to explore what organizations need to rethink as AI systems become more autonomous. 🎧 New episode coming this Thursday. Stay tuned.

AvePoint’s Chief Risk, Privacy, and Information Security Officer Dana Simberkoff recently spoke to The Wall Street Journal about one the most important stories in AI regulation and cybersecurity today: the status of CISA—America's cyber defense agency. As the government considers reversing previous cuts to the agency, Dana warns that ambiguity around the agency’s future has led to heightened levels of risk and transferred some regulatory and security decision-making responsibilities to the private sector. This kind of uncertainty is what’s driving enterprises to reinforce their AI governance and cyber resilience frameworks, particularly as AI continues to spread.

AI adoption is accelerating, but underlying data environments aren’t ready to support it, leading to costly breaches, unmitigated risk, and stalled AI rollouts. When AI adoption outpaces AI governance, leaders and administrators aren’t able to trust the security or performance of their AI systems, with some relying on public-facing architectures or external model-level safeguards as quick fixes. In his latest article for Forbes Technology Council, AvePoint Co-Founder and CEO Dr. Tianyi Jang identifies the core issues driving this problem, which he calls “the trust gap”—a state of AI paralysis that can only be solved with a trust layer: a layer of security and governance controls that spans an organizations entire data estate and covers all of its AI tools.
