With the economy cooling, there isn\u2019t as much news coming out of big tech as there was in the latter half of 2022. Instead \u2014 as evidenced by our top stories this week \u2014 tech leaders, experts, analysts and readers alike have been delving into more broad-reaching (sometimes even philosophical) topics. <\/p>\n
For starters, are you still using CTRL+C and CTRL+V to copy-paste? (We\u2019ll admit we were guilty of that here.) In our top story, guest author Rosie Chopra of Magical argues for copying-pasting methods worthy of modern-day 2023. Another of our guest authors, Olivier Gaudin, calls for the C-suite to take ownership of code \u2014 which, he says, is ultimately any organization\u2019s most critical asset. <\/p>\n
And, of course, there was no muting the chatter around generative AI<\/a>, including ChatGPT and Bing Chat. Our security editor Tim Keary wrote of Blackbird AI\u2019s new AI assistant for security analysts, and prolific guest author Gary Grossman explored the implications of Bing Chat\u2019s Sydney chatbot \u2014 which has made some pretty creepy and cryptic statements. <\/p>\n
And finally, our AI editor Sharon Goldman went beyond the hype, novelty, skepticism and outright hysteria surrounding generative AI in her column The AI Beat. <\/p>\n

Interested in reading more? Here are the top five stories for the week of February 20.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s time to stop copying and pasting like it\u2019s 1973<\/a><\/h2>\n
Decades of technological innovations have transformed almost every area of business. But for some reason, most of us are still using CTRL+C and CTRL+V to move information from one place to another. <\/p>\n
While this method was indeed revolutionary when invented by Xerox computer scientists Larry Tesler and Tim Mott nearly 50 years ago, it is extremely inefficient today. <\/p>\n
In our top story of the week, guest author Rosie Chopra of Magical<\/a> calls for a more intelligent copy-paste method for the modern era, underscoring the fact that the existing way no longer meets the demands of business. Why are workers performing the repetitive, mind-numbing task of transferring thousands of\u00a0 pieces of data<\/a>\u00a0(numbers, text, images and more) from documents and websites into cells, fields and platforms when they could be working on more important projects?<\/p>\n
Source code must become a C-level priority<\/a><\/h2>\n
Source code is the foundation of every modern enterprise, Olivier Gaudin emphasizes in our second top story of the week. So why isn\u2019t the C-suite<\/a> taking ownership of code and making it a priority on par with things like sales, marketing, security, finance and HR?<\/p>\n
To strengthen this critical strategic asset and maximize their business results, organizations must focus on code at the highest level. This transition will address a major problem that has gone unchecked for years: Code ownership. Someone has to be responsible for stewarding source code and software. <\/p>\n
Because today, who really owns source code often remains unclear. <\/p>\n
How Blackbird AI is striking back at ChatGPT and AI-based attacks<\/a><\/h2>\n
Since OpenAI\u2019s\u00a0 ChatGPT<\/a>\u00a0was unveiled in November 2022, there\u2019s been a lively debate about the\u00a0 potential impact<\/a>\u00a0that generative AI will have on enterprise security. <\/p>\n
Security editor Tim Keary this week wrote about Blackbird AI<\/a>, which uses generative AI<\/a>\u00a0to counter offensive intelligence operations. Notably, the defensive AI and risk intelligence provider announced RAV3N Copilot, an AI assistant for security analysts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The tool uses generative AI to create narrative intelligence and risk reports to offer defenders greater context for security incidents. It can automatically generate executive briefings, key findings and mitigation steps to help security teams manage security incidents more efficiently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
ChatGPT, Bing Chat and the AI ghost in the machine<\/a><\/h2>\n
New York Times<\/em>\u00a0reporter Kevin Roose had a close encounter<\/a> of the robotic kind with a shadow-self that seemingly emerged from Bing\u2019s new chatbot \u2014 Bing Chat \u2014 also known as \u201cSydney.\u201d News of the interaction quickly went viral and now serves as a cautionary tale about AI, guest author Gary Grossman writes in this top story of the week. <\/p>\n
What does this interaction with Sydney \u2014 which suddenly professed its love for Roose and pestered him to reciprocate \u2014 say about the future of AI? And what should we do to ensure that the technology doesn\u2019t evolve beyond humankind\u2019s control? <\/p>\n
The AI beat: No, I didn\u2019t test the new Bing AI chatbot last week; here\u2019s why <\/a><\/h2>\n
Finally, AI editor Sharon Goldman outlined in her AI Beat column the reasons why she didn\u2019t spend her week trying out\u00a0Microsoft Bing\u2019s AI chatbot<\/a> or talking about how Sydney<\/a> \u2014 the internal code name of Bing\u2019s AI chat mode \u2014 made her feel, or whether it creeped her out. <\/p>\n
Instead, she indulged in some deep thoughts (and tweets) about her own response to the Bing AI chats that were published by others. Also, she emphasizes, topics like AI regulation and governance are far more critical. <\/p>\n
