AI without fear or favor

Are you ready for the next wave of AI innovation?

Many of today’s organizational leaders, while keen to take advantage of AI’s tremendous potential, are held back by fears of the potential risks posed to their security, privacy and brand reputation. We’ll be the first to admit that, without being introduced to the research and information, those feelings make perfect sense. But once you learn the truth, it’s hard to look back. 

In a world where “AI” has become a divisive buzzword, it is increasingly difficult to know what you can and cannot trust on the subject. If you’re interested in the AI revolution but find yourself hesitant to dive headfirst into creating your own AI strategy, don’t worry—CGI is here to help.

The many benefits of implementing an AI strategy: 

• Increased efficiency 
• Enhanced decision making
• Cost reduction
• Optimized operations
• Improved customer satisfaction
• Innovation and growth
• Competitive edge

CGI’s approach to AI strategy

At CGI, we advocate for wide-eyed, practical, and human-centered AI, regardless of the industry. A well-rounded AI strategy can temper the hype and enable organizations to embrace artificial intelligence with confidence and expect successful outcomes. 

Four steps your organization can take to work towards an AI strategy: 

1. Envision: Craft a responsible AI strategy that aligns with business priorities and mitigates risks
2. Experiment: Identify use cases and explore opportunities to drive business value
3. Engineer: Build adaptive foundations, including an enterprise-wide data strategy to support insights-driven innovation and an agile operating model to deliver AI at scale
4. Expand: Scale, operate and govern a ROI-led and responsible AI portfolio

What is human-centered AI?

As you’re deciding how to approach AI strategy, you’ll hear the words “human-centered” tossed around—but what does it mean? At its core, human-centered AI (HCAI) refers to the emerging idea that AI systems should prioritize, amplify or augment, rather than displace, your human team member’s abilities. If handled correctly, AI feels more like a co-pilot or collaborator, rather than a robot designed to take over. 

The number one roadblock to implementing responsible AI into an organization is workforce resistance. Investing in human-centered AI tools and technology is the best way to dispel those worries amongst your team and create long-lasting trust.

Discover the truth about responsible AI

Partaking in the AI revolution and remaining ethical starts way before the initial implementation of technology. To qualify as responsible AI, or RAI, all tools must be designed, developed and deployed in an ethical, transparent and traceable manner. Often described as the wall between innovation and disaster, responsible AI is the key to ensuring all systems and frameworks are safe to use, inclusive and aligned with human values. 

Move forward with confidence

The AI revolution is unfolding around us - and it's time to act. By crafting a strategy that aligns with responsible practices and organizational values, building a future-ready AI operating model to power your vision, and implementing by envisioning, experimenting, engineering and expanding your AI approach, you'll accelerate your path toward a promising future.
