    Study Notes

    Information Governance in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

    • In 2001, an ecommerce project for a regional bank in California encountered a records management challenge, where dynamically generated loan terms had to be stored for compliance and refutability purposes.

    Records Management Challenges

    • The solution involved keeping copies of source databases, webpage code, and server logs to replicate webpages and facilitate investigation and research.
    • This approach reduced data volume and made management more efficient.

    Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)

    • GenAI systems are "black boxes" with no transparency into how they generate outcomes.
    • They have a disconnect in the chain of custody between training data and system outputs, causing an authentication problem.
    • GenAI systems learn from user interactions, making them non-deterministic and changing over time.

    Records Management and Governance in GenAI

    • Taking periodic "snapshots" of GenAI systems is not feasible due to their constant changes and vast training datasets.
    • Maintaining records of GenAI interactions would be economically unfeasible, even if technically possible.
    • OpenAI CEO Sam Altman estimates that future AI advancements may require upwards of $7 trillion.

    The Importance of Understanding Purpose

    • G.K. Chesterton's example of a fence or gate illustrates the need to understand the purpose of things before assuming they are useless or unnecessary.
    • Applying this principle to records management and governance in GenAI can help find effective solutions.

    Effective Records Management and Governance in GenAI

    • Historically, records management and governance have been viewed as necessary evils, but they are essential for effective oversight of business processes.
    • Applying people, processes, procedures, and tools more forcefully, effectively, and efficiently can help govern GenAI.
    • GenAI tools can be used to assist in managing GenAI tools, and governance solutions are being rapidly developed.
    • Tried and tested methodologies from the Information Governance industry still apply and should be heightened, widened, and reinforced to protect against unknown risks.
