Fractional CIO in Services (non-Government)a month ago

This is quite a subjective question as it's going to depend on a range of factors which will be unique to each org. I'm not sure we'll ever get to full automation, but we should be able to apply an 80/20 rule to it - 80% of the tasks will be automated, leaving agents to do the other 20%

The calls that are more likely to be automated are the generic "how do I" kind of calls that service desks receive regularly - there's going to be a huge dependency on your knowledge base as to how these are handled though.

MACs will also have the potential to be heavily automated. Again, this will have a dependency on role based access being clean though.

In 4-5 years? With progress as it is going, I don't think there will be a service desk at all. So call it 0% or 100%. And if we still need one, then that means there is something profoundly out-date about our software and process footprint. It's coming and it is coming fast.

What are the best use cases of AI you've found so far, or where has AI made the biggest difference in your daily work?

We are currently going through ITT for our IT managed services. One of the outstanding questions that I cannot get my head around is whether I want to take our Service Licenses (Professional Services excluded) internal. i.e. Do I become Servicenow's customer rather than buying my licenses via IT support partner? Commercials are comparable but I don't know if I'll get a better "service" contracting direct. Has anyone had a similar thoughts?

Why do you think there are so few mature AI-driven autonomous pentesting solutions on the market, and why does this topic seem to generate more hype than in-depth technical discussion?

The DeepSeek impact on the tech world was disruptive, and many pillars are now under discussion, such as the real cost of developing models, the need for powerful GPUs, and the running and licensing costs of the API and tokens. Do you believe DeepSeek opened the Pandora's Box on the tech industry?
