A recent MIT report revealing that 78% of businesses face challenges in AI adoption due to weak data foundations. Despite high aspirations for AI, such as enhancing efficiency and fostering innovation, only a small percentage of business leaders feel adequately prepared to engage with AI technologies. The report highlights that data governance and quality are significant obstacles, emphasizing the need for organizations to address underlying data issues before embarking on AI projects.The episode also covers the FIDO Alliance's announcement at the Authenticate conference regarding the Credential Exchange Protocol (CXP), which aims to make passkeys portable across different digital ecosystems. This initiative, supported by major tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft, seeks to standardize secure transfer processes for passkeys, reducing concerns over vendor lock-in. The growing acceptance of passwordless technology is underscored by Amazon's report of over 175 million customers activating passkeys, indicating a shift towards more secure digital practices.Host Dave Sobel contrasts the approaches of OpenAI and Anthropic in the realm of AI development. OpenAI's new O1 model family focuses on structured prompt generation for efficiency and accuracy, while Anthropic emphasizes a more conversational and engaging AI experience. This divergence in methodologies reflects the differing priorities of the two companies, with OpenAI aiming for structured outputs and Anthropic fostering a personable interaction style. Additionally, a study by Apple researchers reveals limitations in mathematical reasoning within large language models, stressing the importance of human oversight in decision-making processes.Finally, the episode highlights the need for organizations to modernize their cybersecurity strategies by adopting an identity-centric zero trust model. As hybrid work environments and AI technologies challenge traditional security practices, a zero-trust approach ensures that all access requests are verified, protecting sensitive resources from unauthorized access. Sobel also discusses the importance of fostering AI experimentation within organizations to bridge the gap between individual productivity gains and overall performance, encouraging a cultural shift towards embracing AI as an integral part of business strategy. Four things to know today00:00 78% of Businesses Struggle with AI Adoption Due to Weak Data Foundations, Says MIT Report02:12 FIDO Alliance Unveils New Protocol to Make Passkeys Portable Across Platforms03:56 OpenAI’s Structured AI vs. Anthropic’s Conversational AI: What It Means for Business Efficiency06:23 Why AI Experimentation and Zero-Trust Security Are the Future of Organizational Strategy   Supported by:  https://mspradio.com/engage/ Event: www.smbTechFest.com/Go/Sobel   All our Sponsors:   https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
