Evidence cited in an eBook titled “AI Quantum Resilience”, published by Utimaco [email wall], shows organisations consider security risks as the leading barrier to effective adoption of AI on data they hold. AI’s value depends on data amassed by an organisation. However, there are security risks to building models and training them on that data. These risks are in addition to better-publicised threats to intellectual property that exist around the point of inference (prompt engineering, for example). The eBook’s authors state that organisations need to manage threats throughout their AI development and implementation processes. At the same time, companies can…

Finance leaders are automating their complex workflows by actively adopting powerful new multimodal AI frameworks.Extracting text from unstructured documents presents a frequent headache for developers.

Platforms such as LlamaParse connect older text recognition methods with vision-based parsing. Specialised tools aid language models by adding initial data preparation and tailored reading commands, helping structure complex elements such as large tables. Within standard…
