In recent years, artificial intelligence has become a tool everyone is talking about, and one that everyone is trying to adopt. However, to make its use truly effective and safe, it is important to see the bigger picture.

During a business breakfast with Oleksii Minnikov — CIO and expert in security and AI implementation — the top-managers of MTI Group discussed how company leaders can understand whether AI is genuinely working for the business rather than creating new risks.

The main risk in using AI is the threat of data leaks, as all information and files shared by the user are stored on unknown servers. In addition, AI can train on this data and use it when responding to other users. No one really knows what happens on the backend. That is why a company needs to develop a clear policy outlining what information can be shared with language models and what cannot.

AI can be especially useful in areas that do not involve handling sensitive or confidential data. For example, in marketing it can support the development of communication campaigns, image, text and video creation.

Another area where AI can be implemented effectively is HR. It can help process large volumes of incoming data for analysis or prepare the most relevant interview questions.

Current trends, global market development prospects, and the specifics of building a unified IT infrastructure — particularly for AI — sparked an active discussion among participants.

The group concluded that it is essential to monitor the current capabilities of AI tools and build an integrated system based on existing developments. Most importantly, companies should already be experimenting and developing their own expertise in the field of artificial intelligence.

 

We sincerely thank Oleksii Minnikov for a meaningful and engaging conversation!
