DevOps leader John Willis on why and how to avoid AI anarchy

Avoiding AI anarchy: DevOps leader John Willis on why and how organizations should embrace Generative AI

In part three of our series with DevOps leader John Willis, Mike Kavis and John extend their discussion on AI. John strongly believes that, in light of Generative AI’s growth, it’s unrealistic for organizations to continue to block its use because it will simply lead to shadow-AI anarchy. Instead, John says it’s essential to embrace AI, but in the right way—which includes setting realistic objectives for its use, developing AI governance policies, and training workers on how to follow them.

You can either block, ignore, or embrace. Embrace doesn't mean just turn it off and turn it on and let everybody just go hog wild. It means...we're going to start at some starting point and we're going to learn and adapt.

John Willis is the founder of Botchagalupe Technologies. An accomplished author and innovative entrepreneur, John is passionate about exploring the synergy between technology and the transformative principles of Dr. W. Edwards Deming.
