The episode opens with a focus on Anthropic's new tool, Clio, which is designed to enhance AI observability by identifying threats and unknown harms associated with its AI chatbot, Claude. Clio has already proven its utility by detecting a coordinated spam network attempting to manipulate search engine optimization. Anthropic aims to share Clio's methodologies with other AI labs to promote safer AI practices, emphasizing the importance of governance frameworks for service providers offering AI solutions.The episode also delves into the ongoing challenges of diversity within IT leadership. Host Dave Sobel presents data from a recent survey that reveals little change in the demographic makeup of IT leadership, with a significant majority being white and male. Despite some tech workers believing their workplaces are making strides in diversity, equity, and inclusion, the statistics indicate that progress has been slow. The discussion highlights the need for continued monitoring of these demographics to assess the effectiveness of DEI initiatives, especially as budget cuts and leadership support wane.In a segment titled "Experts Warn," the podcast addresses the misuse of AI technologies in disinformation campaigns, specifically referencing Eleven Labs' AI voice generation technology being used in a Russian influence operation. This incident underscores the potential risks associated with generative AI, as well as the growing concerns among business leaders regarding AI fatigue and burnout. Sobel notes that while many organizations are exploring AI solutions, they often lack clear guidelines for implementation, which can lead to challenges in managing employee use of these tools.Finally, the episode concludes with a significant market shift in the remote monitoring and management (RMM) sector, where Kaseya has overtaken ConnectWise as the leading provider. Sobel discusses the implications of this change, including Kaseya's aggressive pricing strategies and the potential risks associated with their approach. He encourages service providers to evaluate vendors based on sustainable innovation and customer satisfaction rather than just market share. The episode wraps up with a call for organizations to establish comprehensive strategies for AI implementation, ensuring that they remain competitive while effectively managing the associated risks. Four things to know today00:00 AI Observability Gets Real: Anthropic's Clio Detects Threats and Offers a Blueprint for Safer AI03:09 Same Story, Different Quarter: IT Leadership Still Struggles With Diversity05:25 AI Voices, Burnout, and Big Bets: Why Guardrails and Guidance Are Your Best AI Tools10:00 Big Shift in RMM: Kaseya Tops ConnectWise, But Can They Hold the Crown?  Supported by:  https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/https://tdsynnex.com/StreamOneIon   All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Voice could be called one of the exciting new avenues for medicine and healthcare: first, it is seen as a potential optimization tool, if we used voice tech instead of typing data into software. A few months ago, Julia Hoxha, the CEO of Zana explained how her European startup that provides healthcare organizations with the technology to design and to deploy their own chatbot and voice assistants. In the future, we might discover biomarkers in voice. After all, all the characteristics of voice - how loud or how quiet we speak, what tone do we use, how fast or slow we talk - all these characteristics probably have a correlation with something. But what about starting with something much simpler? Analysing voice recordings that already exist? US company Authenticx listens, analyzes, and activates customer voices. The AI-based software analyzes millions of conversations patients have with customer support agents through phone calls or emails. By analysing these conversations, it unveils recurring trends that healthcare organizations use to make informed, proactive decisions for improved workflows and care.  In this discussion you will hear from Amy Brown, executive with 20 years of public and private sector experience in health care public relations, startup management, policy development, quality improvement and insurance operations.

Voice and the conversational AI field is flourishing. It is redefining how we interact with computers, i.e. NLP, Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Watch. Tech giants Alibaba, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft are investing heavily in voice technology in both hardware and software. Famed investor, Mark Cuban, recently stated, “There’s no future that doesn’t have ambient computing or voice activation. None.” However, voice tech still has significant race and gender biases (HBR, Bajorek, 2019), that have perilous implications for immigration, job hiring, transportation, surveillance, and more. One of the keys to fixing bias is the people in the room, the pipelines and retention of racial and gender diversity at companies. Celebration of female talent and community are core goals of Women in Voice, the nonprofit with 20 chapters in 14 countries. Women in Voice also champions female founders and VC investment in this space. Recently their partnership with the Amazon Alexa Startups team has showcased conversational AI and voice innovation from all around the world. All of this is on a mission to make society and voice technology better for everyone.
