How should Albany Leaders Approach AI?

What Are The Risks of Adopting AI?
- Data Privacy: Leaking proprietary info into public models.
- AI Hallucinations: Incorrect info reaching end users.
- Misinformed Employees: Decisions based on flawed data.
- Creative Stagnation: Over-reliance on automated templates.
- Algorithmic Bias: Skewed or unfair decision-making.
- Shadow IT: Use of unsecured, unmonitored tools.
How can businesses use AI today?

How Will AI Impact IT support?
At TAG Solutions, we see AI fundamentally shifting how businesses interact with technology. This evolution will happen across three main pillars:
First-Line Support Evolution: We expect a shift where employees interact with specialized Large Language Models (LLMs) for immediate, Tier-1 troubleshooting before contacting an internal or outsourced provider. This allows for instant resolutions to common issues, meaning you only call your IT resource when complex manual work or high-level expertise is required.
Proactive Threat Detection: Cybersecurity resources will become significantly more effective. AI allows our team to detect anomalies and identify "noise" in your network faster than ever, stopping bad actors before they can cause operational damage.
Evolving Security Risks: While AI strengthens our defense, it also empowers bad actors. We are already seeing "Deepfake" threats where criminals mimic the voices, writing styles, and even the visual likeness of leadership to trick users.
