While generative AI use offers workplace value, “Bring Your Own AI” — employees turning to unapproved, publicly accessible generative AI tools for work-related tasks — introduces risks that organizations are not yet equipped to manage, according to Barb Wixom and Nick van der Meulen of MIT CISR (MIT Center for Information Systems Research). https://lnkd.in/eRMXHrzf

WATCH NOW: Bring Your Own AI: Balance Rewards and Risks Nick van der Meulen and Barb Wixom?share new research on how to open the door to innovation potential — safely. With the rise of #GenAI comes a new challenge for leaders: How to manage the phenomenon of Bring Your Own AI (BYOAI). Employees using unvetted, publicly available GenAI tools — like #ChatGPT or #Claude — open the door to risk. But banning #BYOAI tools, while tempting, won’t work. In this free webinar recording from MIT Sloan Management Review, learn how leaders can turn BYOAI tools from a liability to an asset that drives innovation. The recording is from a webinar delivered on January 30, 2025. View the recording here: https://lnkd.in/g6Je-nkA #GenerativeAI #ArtificialIntelligence #MITSloan #MITCISR

Earlier this month, MIT CISR hosted a Hot Topic event for its members on Quantum for the Enterprise featuring Dr. Mekena McGrew, PhD. Hot Topic webinars are MIT CISR member events featuring leading-edge research findings from a variety of sources. Mekena, formerly a research scientist at HSBC and now a quantum lead at Deloitte, discussed the opportunities and risks of quantum technology, and described how HSBC developed and executed a strategy to capture near-term value from quantum applications and mitigate cyber risk across the Group. The webinar was presented twice for MIT CISR member convenience. In the first session, emceed by MIT CISR Chairman Peter Weill, Peter asked Mekena a question about quantum computing techniques that are available today. Listen to her insightful answer in the video! Employees of MIT CISR member organizations can watch a recording of Mekena's full quantum presentation on the MIT CISR website.

A domain-oriented company focuses on customer outcomes to serve customers' end-to-end needs. In a survey by MIT CISR's Peter Weill and Stephanie Woerner, domain-oriented companies were top performers, achieving more than a 15 percentage point premium on revenue growth and net margin, compared to their industry average. However, taking a domain orientation requires a big mindset change in a company. This article describes what it takes to become a domain-oriented company and the performance premiums from doing so.
