I also understand why this happens, though. Even out-of-the-box AI tools like Copilot or ChatGPT require some level of data access and security. That’s a complicated task that, in normal times, would require a months-long project, at minimum.
Custom AI projects that require sharing data across your environment and allowing the model access to all

Linked – Not All Revolutionary or Garbage: A Moderate Take on AI
Generative AI is already creating positive change and will continue to do so. It is also making very negative changes as well, with deepfake porn, fake video and audio, scams and disinformation proliferation, etc.
I believe it will change our world, but not in the way AI founders think it will or promise that it…
Linked – SharePoint Agents PAYG costs
So much of Copilot is work behind the scenes. The $30 per month cost per license is just the icing on the AI cake. The actual cost of ownership is the work involved in Information Governance and Security, planning, training, etc. You should never forget that when integrating any new technology, especially with AI.

Linked – ‘Give Us Legal AI Or We’re Leaving’ – Survey
The hype around AI has reached levels we’ve never seen before. Even skeptics of how well AI works must acknowledge that most professionals are aware of AI tools and curious enough to try them out. Do those efforts match the hype? Likely not, but the fact that AI is everywhere they look right now, except…
Linked – Microsoft Study Finds AI Makes Human Cognition “Atrophied and Unprepared”
I’m unsurprised by this and unsure why anyone would be surprised: Researchers find that the more people use AI at their job, the less critical thinking they use. I’ve pointed out before that the promise of AI taking over tasks and freeing employees up to do more strategic decision-making falls apart when considering how many……
Is AI on the Internet of Things Path?
The real question is not whether they add it but how. The Internet of Things created many insecure devices because people slapped an internet connection on things that weren’t needed without considering making them safe or usable. Networks got hacked through fish tanks, and people were terrorized by someone taking control of their smart homes. Forcing…
Linked – 15 Times to use AI, and 5 Not to
I’ve seen many people in the L&D space talk about using AI for training, and I think there is a place for it. There is also a place for deep learning that isn’t assisted by an AI tool. For instance, I don’t use AI to write for me. As someone who puts out as much…
Linked – Attorney-Client Privilege Has a Problem: AI Isn’t a Lawyer
If I ask AI to do legal research or provide legal insights, should I assume that the data would be privileged? As the article points out, why would I believe that if no lawyers were involved?
The post Linked – Attorney-Client Privilege Has a Problem: AI Isn’t a Lawyer appeared first on Mike McBride Online…
Linked – AI data readiness: C-suite fantasy, big IT problem
This might seem like a new problem, but it’s an old problem that shows up when trying to do something new.
There is a lack of a strategy for data security and data rot. Too many organizations have punted when deciding what data to keep versus delete and haven’t made the hard decisions about implementing…
If it’s public data – someone is using it to train an LLM
Bluesky is developing an open protocol, and Mastodon uses an open protocol (ActivityPub). The idea seems to be that we can create a social media platform without a walled garden where users don’t own the data, which is also completely protected from someone grabbing that public data to build an AI model.
That’s not going…
