Back in 1992, Microsoft Excel changed the way we approached business, becoming a staple for over 1.1 billion users worldwide. Fast forward to today, and AI is transforming how businesses operate, just as Excel did back then. Here at Argon & Co, we're embracing this evolution. With the help of IRIS by Argon & Co, we have created our very own AI interface, EDGAr, designed to enhance daily tasks while ensuring our data remains secure. Excel's launch ad humorously depicted a hero completing a task with ease, thanks to its functionalities. It's a sentiment that resonates with today's AI advancements like ChatGPT and Co-Pilot. However, these tools bring risks, particularly around data security. As AI continues to evolve, overcoming data security challenges is crucial for its relevance. EDGAr empowers our team to utilise foundational technologies like OpenAI securely, ensuring proprietary information stays protected. It's not just about automation; it's about advancing with confidence. Read Herbert van Tonder's full article here:?https://lnkd.in/g3fa2BD9 #AIInnovation #BusinessTransformation #AI #SeeRealChange?
