Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points.

\nTo be clear, you don\u2019t need to mitigate every risk. The standard responses to risk include avoiding (just don\u2019t do enterprise AI initiatives at this time), accepting, ignoring (the same as accept, only without being thoughtful and deliberate about it), transferring to another party (if there\u2019s an AI insurance policy for bad business decisions based on unmitigated risks, I\u2019m not aware of it), or taking steps to reduce the risk to a more acceptable level.
\nAs one example, Spiceworks Ziff Davis has standardized on Google Gemini as its authorized tool for enterprise AI initiatives, in no small part because of safeguards around its enterprise data: \u201cYour content is not used for any other customers. Your content is not human-reviewed or used for generative AI model training outside your domain without explicit permission.\u201d Our data is isolated (it never leaks across user boundaries or outside our organization), completely exempt from external human oversight, and any organizational context or learning is isolated to an adaptive, private layer built into our own corporate instance.
\nOther risk factors can be mitigated by narrowing the scope of enterprise AI projects to be more specific (less generalized), thereby significantly improving estimates for risk factors such as bias, explainability, and drift\/decay.\u00a0
\nThe point is that most of us are unable to prevent enterprise AI initiatives from happening. Still, with some straightforward analysis and strategic thinking, we can make a significant contribution to achieving the benefits while buying down the risks.
\nFor my next article in this series, I will unpack and discuss the implications for AI from the 40,000-word encyclical, Magnifica HumanitasOpens a new window , recently published by Pope Leo XIV. There are three big points: absolute human accountability, mitigation of power concentration, and protection of human capacity.
\nThere\u2019s no math in that one, just morals and ethics (which are much harder than math, in my view).<\/p>\n
