We discuss the push for watermarking AI-generated content to increase transparency and the challenges of enforcing these regulations. We then cover the risks of using synthetic data repeatedly for training, which can lead to a decline in AI model accuracy and reliability over time.
We also dive into how organizations are setting up AI Centers of Excellence (COEs) and councils to better manage AI initiatives and navigate the balance between innovation and risk. Additionally, we explore a shift from large, general-purpose models to smaller, specialized models that are better suited for specific tasks.
