Opening Remarks

The symposium's opening remarks on "Human Resource Innovation" and

"Technology Innovation" created an intellectually stimulating and perceptive tone.
During her introductory remarks, Dr. Leda Celis expressed her gratitude for the
combined effort and stressed the importance of the symposium, especially for
graduating students. The event provides a forum for further exploration of the fields
of "Human Resource Innovation" and "Technology Innovation," acting as a bridge
between academic knowledge and practical application. This symposium becomes an
invaluable opportunity for graduating students to learn about the latest developments
and trends in their professions.
It is essential that we comprehend cutting edge technologies and HR practices
as we move from school to the working world. It gives us a more comprehensive
understanding of industry standards and gives us the resources we need to adjust to
the changing environment. Furthermore, the instructor's desire that students would
take something away from the experience is consistent with the notion that success
requires constant learning. Graduating signifies the start of a lifetime process that
involves adopting creative ideas and staying current with industry developments, not
the conclusion of our educational journey.
Basically, the introductory remarks are an encouragement for the graduating
students to participate fully in the symposium, take away important information, and
use it in their future pursuits. It supports the notion that, in order to successfully
navigate the ever-changing problems of the professional world, embracing innovation
is not only a choice but also a requirement.

IV. Speaker 2: Mr. Arnel Maghinay, RN, Ph.D

The second resource speaker focused his talk on Technology Innovation with
emphasis on the 2024 Technology Trends. He mentioned about the Gartner -- an
American technological research and consulting firm that conducts research about the
possible future technologies. Accordingly, he started his talk by presenting Artificial
Intelligence such as ChatGPT and Quillbot. "There's nothing wrong in using this kind
of technology especially in education", he said. The duration of his talk presented
seven different topics: AI TRISM, CPEM, Augmented Development, Intelligent
Applications, Democratic Generative AI, Augmented Connected Workforce, and
Machine Customer.
Firstly, the AI Trust, Risk, Security and Management (TRiSM) that focuses on
the level of trust, risk, security and management. Gartner defined this kind of
technology as a framework that served as a backbone for Artificial Intelligence Model.
This kind of technology is very common nowadays because most of the companies
will move to a cloud-based technology which stores everything on the internet. The
first framework will move around the AI Trust, he specifically explained. He
emphasized that this framework focused on the association of being transparent or it
can be explained. This means that the systems that'd be using are very transparent in
terms of the processes.
The speaker discussed key technological trends highlighted by Gartner,
focusing on the growing significance of artificial intelligence (AI) in shaping the
future of technology. Gartner, an American technological research and consulting
firm, is known for its forward-looking analyses and predictions in the field. The
primary emphasis was on AI-TRiSM, an acronym for AI- Trust, Risk, and Security
Management. This framework serves as a foundational element for AI models,
particularly in the context of the increasing prevalence of cloud-based technologies.
The shift towards cloud-based systems brings about a higher level of risk, prompting
the need for robust trust, risk, and security management.
AI-TRiSM consists of three core components: AI trust, AI risk, and AI
security management. AI trust centers around transparency, ensuring that the
processes within an organization's AI system are understandable. AI risk involves
applying precise governance to manage potential risks, while AI security management
addresses the evolving threat landscape, urging organizations to stay vigilant. The
speaker presented Gartner's prediction that by 2026, enterprises implementing AI-
TRiSM controls would significantly enhance the accuracy of decision-making,
eliminating 80% of faulty and illegitimate information. This prediction aligns with the
current trend of integrating AI into decision-making processes, with the expectation
that it will play a more prominent role in the future.
The discussion also touched upon the importance of AI in enhancing various
controls and decision-making fairness within organizations. The ability of AI to
continuously collect and analyze data, promoting transparency and data protection,
was emphasized through a video presentation.Moving on, the speaker introduced
Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), a proactive and continuous five-
stage program designed to monitor, evaluate, and reduce exploitability in
organizations. The term "exploitability" refers to the potential vulnerabilities that can
be taken advantage of within a system. The speaker shared personal experiences,
underlining the critical importance of data backup to prevent loss or corruption.
The five stages of CTEM were outlined, starting with scope identification and
proceeding through discovery, prioritization, validation, and mobilization. The
speaker stressed the need for organizations to identify potential attacks, prioritize
issues to prevent compromise of critical assets, validate potential attacks, and ensure
clear roles and responsibilities to prevent data leaks.
The speaker provided insights into the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, with
a strong focus on AI and its role in trust, risk, and security management. The
importance of proactive measures like CTEM and the significance of data backup
were highlighted as crucial components of a comprehensive technological strategy.
The overarching message conveyed the inevitability of AI's increased integration into
various aspects of business and decision-making processes in the near future.
The students were grateful as the speaker explained things in a way that made it
easy for everyone to understand. They were able to share their personal experience
and tips on how to effectively utilize technology. As long as we use alternative
intelligence (AI) appropriately, humans will not be at risk because we are the ones
who provide them with information and control over them.
