Your GenAI, Your Data: How Local Models Put You Back in Control

When discussing GenAI one concern that consistently comes up is a worry around using public models and what happens to my data – there are genuine concerns about data privacy and security when using public AI models.  Luckily there are solutions that address these concerns that have been around for quite a while – Ollama , and Open WebUI – tools that empower organisations to run AI models on their own infrastructure.

The GenAI Imperative: Are You Leaving Money and Time on the Table?

A little while ago I wrote an article that talked about the urgency of adopting Generative AI (GenAI). The more organisations I speak to, who then see the potential of GenAI, the more I realise that it’s an imperative – that the world is changing around organisations and those that are not planning to adopt are leaving both time and cost savings on the table (the ROI is tangible). This hesitation could be costing businesses more than they realise – the loss of a competitive edge.

The Urgency of Generative AI: Today’s Competitive Edge, Tomorrow’s Necessity

As I explore the AI development platforms from major providers like IBM , Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft it’s clear that they are increasingly offering tools that provide easy access to both pre-trained models and custom model training (we also have easy API access to models like ChatGPT and Gemini). A recent report from the IBM Institute for Business Value included a sentence that resonated with me: “The competitive edge that generative AI delivers today will be table stakes tomorrow.” This insight feels particularly relevant when considering the services these major platforms offer – its power to differentiate will diminish.
