AI adoption in enterprises is met with varying responses - some are eager to accelerate innovation while others proceed cautiously due to compliance, security, and cost concerns.
Omar Khawaja, CISO of Databricks, discusses secure AI adoption with a focus on the 'gas and brakes' approach to balancing innovation and oversight.
The metaphor of 'gas and brakes' highlights the importance of aligning acceleration and caution in AI adoption to create situational awareness and define safe experimentation zones.
Databricks' AI security strategy involves a comprehensive framework with subsystems, components, risks, and controls to enable targeted governance based on specific use cases.
The goal is to avoid enforcing all controls and instead implement tailored governance measures to ensure safety in AI applications.
