Technology is advancing faster than ever, bringing both opportunities and challenges for executives leading the digital transformation.
The Tech Leaders Summit at VivaTech brings together CTOs, CIOs, CDOs, and other top tech executives to discuss the implementation of technology and innovation into the corporate world. Discuss, collaborate, and strategize on the most pressing issues shaping the future of technology and business.
The AI Innovation Race
How can companies keep internal data safe? What is the best way to integrate new technologies? How can AI be balanced with human input?
AI is one of biggest factors changing businesses right now and there is constant pressure to keep up with innovation. Many companies have already implemented pilot projects but struggle to evolve to enterprise-wide adoption.
Keeping internal data safe is another factor that companies have to keep in mind when seeking to implement AI. Relying on models like ChatGPT isn't possible for most professionals because it would mean putting sensitive information out into an algorithm that could use it for anything. Tech leaders within companies must explore creative solutions, like designing internal, company-specific models to replace ChatGPT.
Ethics and bias add another hurdle for tech executives to overcome when figuring out the best way to implement AI into the operations of the company. Making sure that automation is balanced with human input and guidance is a key responsibility for many tech executives leading this workforce transformation.
Cybersecurity, Compliance, and More
What are the best strategies for securing cloud infrastructure? How can tech leaders implement safe data practices and adapt to regulations? Is digital sovereignty an asset for companies and what are the steps to obtaining it?
With the rise of quantum computing, cybersecurity is more important for businesses than ever before. In an age where data is one of the most valuable assets, tech executives hold a big responsibility to make sure the company responds to evolving threats. Although the government sets regulations for how data is collected, stored, processed, and shared, tech leaders must design additional cybersecurity and compliance frameworks to protect their company, as well as the individuals from whom the data was collected.
Digitial sovereignty, or a company's capability to control technological data, assets, and infrastructure independently and autonomously, is another goalpost. However, it's easier said than done for many. Operating autonomously from individual providers or countries is greatly dependent on political and economic factors, and it also requires many foundational changes within a company.
Shaping the Future of Tech Talent
How can skill gaps in engineering, data science, and other professions be addressed? Is there a shortage of skilled tech talent? What is the best way to retain top talent?
Tech professionals are one of the demographics most heavily impacted by the rise of remote and hybrid work models due to the nature of their jobs. Working on a computer can be done from home as easily as in the office. As a result, the talent ecosystem in tech is changing, with the rise of digital nomads and generous work-from-home policies. For tech executives, this means a change of how people are managed, how projects are done, and how technology is implemented.
With tech moving and changing faster than people are, upskilling employees and implementing continuous learning is becoming a necessity for companies. Having teams fluent in artificial intelligence, data management systems, and cloud infrastructure is a must. However, to achieve this, companies need to invest in proper training and education for their employees, especially those in charge of data, technology, and information systems.
