Ignorance is bliss
 Based on an EY study, it would seem that when it comes to artificial intelligence, ignorance is bliss. The study stays that while 98% of companies have a policy, 47% of them will quicky bypass those policies in order to develop and deploy AI tools. Why care about security, accuracy or anything else when you can successfully deploy an AI tool by skipping all those steps. I would love to know if there any biglaw on that survey. Read for more interesting number and wild facts at The Global Legal Post: Almost half of US companies skip their AI governance policies to speed up deployment - EY study

If you have Citrix NetScalers, be sure to read more at BLEEPINGCOMPUTER: CISA orders feds to patch exploited Citrix flaws by Wednesday
