Trailblazing Human and Entity Identity & Learning Visionary - Created a new legal identity architecture for humans/ AI systems/bots and leveraged this to create a new learning architecture

This is the fourth and final article in the series. This one addresses rapidly and continually addressing enterprise architecture from an enterprise risk and innovation perspective against a massive rate of tech change.

Logarithmic Rate Of Tech Change We Can Now No Longer Cognitively Keep Up With
Look at this curve. It shows a logarithmic rate of tech change we can now no longer cognitively keep up with. Note the slowest rate of change is politics i.e., government. Given this, how are you going to ensure your enterprise is always secure? As the Part III article noted, new attack vectors are coming at you from all directions.
Then There's Innovation
The tech change curve also means that almost each day, new tech is emerging which may or may not be leveraged by your enterprise to do things faster, cheaper and better. Given the fast rate of change, how are you and your enterprise going to keep up with it, quickly identifying new tech with which you can innovate with?
You're Entering A Major Paradigm Shift
Where your old ways won't work well anymore. Thus, it requires out of the box thinking for the out of the box times your enterprise finds itself in.
My Premise?
The tech change curve means new innovation and risk will hit your enterprise from all directions, within all departments. Thus, you need to get risk and innovation out of the silo-ized departments within which it lives today within your enterprise.
Enter The New Enterprise Risk & Innovation Committee
It has members from all your enterprise departments and meets daily. The department members should be your best and brightest. It also has a board member sitting in on the meetings at least once every two weeks.
What Does it Do?
it leverages AI systems to constantly search the web for new tech developments. The committee has your best and brightest minds. They then continually review the new tech, analyzing it from:
Which Is Where Your Red Security Team Comes Into Play
It's job is to think outside the box creating new attack vectors against your governance, business processes, tech infrastructure and your users (be they human, AI systems or bots)(or customers, employees, contractors, suppliers, business partners or third parties). It will likely use:
It's much better to be successfully attacked by your Red Team than the Evil Inc.s.
Note: I suggest readers skim these two articles by Bruno W Agra about a paper "Sleeper Agents: Training Deceptive LLMs that Persist Through Safety Training". In Part 2 he discusses red-teaming to detect these types of agents:
The New Committee Will Likely Have Some Permanent Staff
Their job is to:
Yet The New Committee Could Easily Become A Boondoggle
If it becomes entrenched within your enterprise, with it's own bureaucracy, it might be not liked by other departments. Hypothetically, it could wield a very powerful approval sword, negatively affecting other departments.
Which Is Why Leadership Is Critical
The leader of this new committee should be someone who's well respected by all the enterprise departments. They must be able to work collaboratively within the team and across the enterprise.
The New Committee And AI Software It Uses Become Prime Attack Targets
The Evil inc.s will leverage tech, Malicious Molly types, etc. to see if they can successfully get inside the committee, it's business and technical processes. Which is why your red security team must constantly be on top of their game to thwart such attempts.
The Committee Must Educate your Workforce and Customers on AI Agent Benefits & Risks
As AI agent hype unfolds, your workforce and customers will leap to using this. They'll see it as being able to do things faster, cheaper and better. What they will mostly be oblivious about is the risks that come with this. Thus, it makes sense to prepare a continuous education and notification system within your enterprise about AI agents benefits and risks.
Summary - I Wrote These Articles Aiming At What I Call The "Keeners"
Most enterprises won't see the effects of the tech change curve, until it's upon them creating havoc with their bottom lines, market share, security, etc. Thus, I'm on the hunt for keen thinkers and do-ers within enterprises, who can see the very strong winds of change blowing . You are the "keeners".
It's your job to get on top of the winds of change, leveraging it, within your enterprise, to create new ways of doing things faster, cheaper and better. That's what these series of articles lays out at the 100,000 foot level. Contact me if you'd like to chat.
About Guy Huntington
I'm an identity trailblazing problem solver. My past clients include Boeing, Capital One and the Government of Alberta's Digital Citizen Identity & Authentication project. Many of my past projects were leading edge at the time in the identity/security space. I've spent the last eight years working my way through creating a new legal identity architecture and leveraging this to then rethink learning.
I've also done a lot in education as a volunteer over my lifetime.?This included chairing my school district's technology committee in the 90's - which resulted in wiring most of the schools with optic fiber, behind building a technology leveraged school, and past president of Skills Canada BC and Skills Canada.
I do short term consulting for Boards, C-suites and Governments, assisting them in readying themselves for the arrival of AI systems, bots and AI leveraged, smart digital identities of humans.
I've written LOTS about the change coming. Skim the?over 100 LinkedIn articles?I've written,?or my webpage?with lots of papers.
