useful until you use some of these programs that will allow you to boil it down into something meaningful and useful. So, in the end, it was going to take too much time, too much effort, and the poor guy, he has to go to school. Ultimately, I said, “Call it and we’ll move on down the road.” But it’s those kinds of things, very doable in the near term, where you can take, if you can get access and you can clean the data, you can get in and see what it is you see. For roll stock analysis, historically, we’ve had to pay pretty good money to have somebody else do that by hand. It takes a lot of time; it takes a lot of effort and cost. And basically, if you can save a roll size, if you can get rid of a roll size, and move up and move your mix up into a bigger roll size, then you get efficiencies and you get cost savings. That’s the whole idea behind it. D’Angelo: What should our members look for in terms of protecting their data as they go down the road? Wiens: It’s going to continue to be paramount to absolute- ly reach out to third-party data security professionals who are involved in this space and who understand it. You probably have all recognized that you’re getting a lot more emails from employees asking to change their bank statements and things. That’s happening very reg- ularly now because it’s much easier to fingerprint an or- ganization using artificial intelligence and determine who are the decision makers, who are the employees, what do they do, where are they at. When you’re attempting to crack a system, that is one of the very first steps. You need to understand what it looks like before you do any type of penetration. And so that is happening in the background all the time before you’re even aware that somebody is attempting to attack your system. So, with those types of threats out there, it’s definitely going to be an important part of the process to talk to cy- ber security professionals and how that can help you. If you do have a managed system, I would talk to those people, make sure that they’re on top of it and are deploy- ing things to help mitigate those risks. I did go to an Open AI event in San Francisco that talked about model security and the current state of model security is that you could embed a malicious line of code into an AI model, and it would be completely undetectable and untraceable by any methods that we have today. So, there is a risk there that exists and you have to go into it knowing that and working with the right trusted individuals to make sure you protect yourself. Gopakumar: It’s going to be a continuous process. And that’s part of the reason why you need either an internal resource or a trusted advisor. Because every supplier that will come in this space will tell you they comply, and they probably do. But you want to judge that for yourself. I think over time, safety standards across the world have become standardized, and every manufacturer follows those. Something similar will happen in this space, but it’s a con- tinuous process. It’s not a one and done.
