As a digital transformation leader and former CIO, I carry a healthy dose of paranoia. Call it survival instincts: Risks that can disrupt an organization from staying true to its mission and accomplishing its goals must constantly be surfaced, assessed, and either mitigated or managed.

For generative AI, a stubborn fact is that it consumes very large quantities of compute cycles, data storage, network bandwidth, electrical power, and air conditioning.
