At the 50th ISACA Sydney Conference, Joseph Reddy shares practical insights on the rise of artificial intelligence and what “sovereign AI capability” really means for organisations.
Reddy argues that building sovereign AI isn’t about billion‑dollar technology investments. Instead, it starts with investing in people with the right skills, understanding business processes and data and then selecting the right technologies to support them.
He also cautions against blindly jumping on the AI bandwagon at any cost, referencing Geoffrey Hinton’s warning that, for the first time in history, we’ve created something potentially more intelligent than humans. With AI evolving at high speed but often without clear direction, Reddy calls for “speed with direction” and a focus on big-ticket problems, not just marginal gains.
