Webinar On The Potential Benefits of Generative AI

Greg Losier, President of Grapnel Security Solutions, delivered a webinar entitled “The Luddite’s Guide to Safe and Effective Use of AI.” The full presentation can be viewed on YouTube. Highlights and takeaways of the presentation include the following:

1. Generative AI (GenAI) is like having a PhD candidate with a 160 IQ at your beck and call.

2. Customizing and personalizing your generative AI platform greatly optimizes its efficiency and responses. 

3. Interactions with AI are best accomplished through conversational language. 

4. For certified professionals, generative AI can be leveraged for benefits at all stages of the Business Continuity Management (BCM) cycle - accelerating risk assessment, Business Impact Analysis (BIA), and exercise development. 

5. As with any emerging technology, generative AI is new to many practitioners. Blending professional knowledge with a “trust but verify” attitude should be considered best practice. This often means checking and verifying results for accuracy. 

Conclusion: Used smartly, generative AI can be a game-changer for the certified professional community. Embracing its power will strengthen our community and help us to respond to client and organizational needs.
