00:12 — This week, I’m looking at the Wiz “State of AI in the Cloud” report. It found that 70% of organizations already use managed AI services in cloud environments.

01:09 — In a four-month period, Azure OpenAI rose nearly 230%, clearly putting Microsoft and OpenAI as the leader of managed AI services. The report also points out that most organizations are primarily experimenting with AI. Only 10% are what are considered as power users.
02:06 — Another thing to call out: the findings demonstrate that managed AI services are rising exponentially, and so are self-hosted AI services and tools across all industries and organizations. Also, organizations are looking to use AI for automation, efficiency, feature development, and more.
02:40 — Security is looking to keep pace with the consumption within the business. Cisco recently announced its AI security posture management capability, which can help with the visibility, governance, and security of AI services and tooling.
