As organizations increasingly integrate Gen AI into their operations, it's crucial to consider the technology's environmental impact. However, only 12% of executives report that their organizations measure Gen AI's footprint, and just 20% prioritize its environmental footprint among the top five factors when choosing or developing models. Despite this, Gen AI's ability to rapidly process large volumes of data helps organizations improve customer experience, optimize operations, drive growth, and foster innovation.

There is huge potential for the leverage of data (and AI) to provide the most modern Citizen digital experiences, but that has to be balanced with managing deep legacy challenges and, of course, security risk.
 
In a special episode this week, Dave and Rob talk to Craig Suckling, UK Government Chief Data Officer about modern public services, the challenges and opportunities in unleashing data in a safe and secure way, how AI fits into all of this and how Governments can lead the way in secure and ethical AI implementation.

We are back!  In this opening episode we meet our new host and chat about the exciting things coming in Season 4.

To provide a way in for new listeners, we also take a step back and discuss what we actually mean by 'practical and exciting alternate realities that can be unleashed through Cloud-driven Transformation', what reflections we have on this from looking at it over the last three seasons and how this sets up Season 4.

Finally, we are very keen this season to establish a feedback loop with listeners, so will be doing shows exploring listener questions and challenges - something we are really looking forward to.  Please get in touch with us, via LinkedIn or cloudrealities@capgemini.com, if you have questions or challenges for us, we'd love to hear from you!
