For CIOs and IT executives in the US, the America AI Action Plan means it's time to start aligning internal AI strategies with national priorities to stay ahead in compliance, competitiveness, and collaboration.
Aligning with WCAG 2.2 Level AA isn’t just about avoiding fines; it’s about unlocking access to all users while safeguarding your organization. Think of it as preventive medicine for your digital estate: a little upfront effort prevents a lot of headaches, and lawsuits, later
IT managers need to ensure that their organization’s digital assets are structured and optimized to be cited by AI-powered search and zero-click features, even when users never visit the site. Visibility now means being referenced, not just ranked.
Incidents from Grok, Meta, and OpenAI prove that user chats (sometimes including resumes, personal data, or sensitive work details) can slip into public search results or archives. CIOs should enforce a strict rule to keep sensitive data off any cloud-hosted LLM unless it runs offline or in an air-gapped environment.
IT leaders in small and medium-sized medical practices can evaluate MedGemma and MedSigLIP as a foundation for trustworthy, in-house clinical-AI initiatives rather than repurposing general LLMs that were not trained for medical tasks. They are built specifically for medical text and image understanding, and may reduce hallucination risk.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai has finally said the quiet part out loud: the AI market is exhibiting "elements of irrationality", and when the correction comes, "no company will be immune." If the company selling you the pickaxes is worried about the gold mine running dry, it’s time to put down your shovel and stop the shovel-ware spending. Now is the time for IT leaders to abandon "build it and they will come" justifications and simply say "show me the money."
