Neil Murphy, CEO of Bytes, one of the UK's largest value added technology resellers, invited Matthew to keynote its annual partner and supplier conference at the Science Museum in London. His brief was a trifecta: the future of AI, cyber and data, three intertwined topics that are becoming harder to see, understand and manage as the days pass.
He started with AI: what comes after the generative AI and large language models that dominated the year's news, including so called actionable AI, even larger foundation models, the rise of specialised AIs, and the emergence of artificial general intelligence and artificial superintelligence.
"AI, cyber, and data are three major topics that are all intertwined, and all of them are becoming more complex to see, understand, and manage as the days pass by."Matthew Griffin, London, December 2023
On cyber, he walked through the emerging threats and threat vectors companies now need to prepare for: weaponised robo-hackers, self-evolving polymorphic malware, adversarial AI attacks, the use of human psychology to jailbreak the latest LLMs, and new malware that can brick hardware, a world first.
He closed on the future of data, from generative and synthetic data to the many new ways these and other datasets can be compromised to break, and even destroy, the most sophisticated AIs in use today.
