AMSTERDAM, Feb. 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- CISCO LIVE EMEA -- Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO)
today announced Motific, Cisco's first SaaS product that allows for
trustworthy generative AI (GenAI) deployments in organizations.
Born from Outshift, Cisco's incubation business, Motific provides a
central view across the entire GenAI journey, empowering central IT
and security teams to rapidly deliver trustworthy GenAI
capabilities across their organizations with control over sensitive
data, security, responsible AI, and cost.
Since the expansion and breadth of access to GenAI, 97% of
companies have reported that the urgency to deploy AI-powered
technology has increased. However, many organizations face
challenges in ensuring the AI being utilized includes trustworthy,
use-case specific data that complies with organizational policies.
One of the biggest hurdles facing organizations is the ability to
tailor GenAI applications and solutions on knowledge bases and data
sources that are custom to their specific use cases. Current and
clean data are critical to operating effectively and can be
achieved via techniques such as Retrieval Augmented Generation
(RAG).
It is time-consuming for companies to provision and manage GenAI
assistants and APIs, integrate models across providers, and hire
the talent to manage the process. Instead, they look for a product
that can accelerate their AI deployments with minimal investment.
Motific, a model and vendor agnostic product, supports the entire
GenAI journey from assessment, through experimentation, to
production. Motific allows customers to:
- Deploy GenAI faster and more effectively: Motific cuts
GenAI deployment times from months to days with compliance controls
for over-usage, overrun spending, and integration of
organization-specific data sources. With just a few clicks, Motific
automatically configures assistants, abstracted APIs, and RAG on
organization-wide data sources and foundation models while
delivering optimal accuracy, cost, security, and access
control.
- Reduce risk and ensure continual compliance: Motific
provides built-in policy controls that organizations can use or
customize in days, allowing companies to provision based on their
own internal policies. These automated controls are built for
sensitive data such as personally identifiable information (PII),
security such as prompt injection and access controls, and
trust-related risks such as toxicity and hallucinations. The
platform offers enterprise controls for security, sensitive data,
and trustworthiness that can accurately detect and mitigate issues
or risks between user inputs and Large Language Model (LLM)
responses.
- Track return on investment (ROI) and business insights while
optimizing costs: Motific tracks business process and prompt
usage intelligence with ROI and cost analysis, including
consolidated monitoring audit trail and key metrics tracking of all
user requests. The product deters shadow AI usage in organizations
by providing visibility into use of unapproved third-party GenAI
capabilities and helping IT admins provision organizationally
compliant alternatives. Motific can also establish cost budgets and
estimations to prevent runaway spend.
"Cisco is rapidly accelerating its product offerings for
customers in the Generative AI space to meet the growing artificial
intelligence and security compliance demands of enterprises," said
Vijoy Pandey, Senior Vice President,
Outshift by Cisco. "Motific accelerates the time to value an
enterprise organization spends on GenAI usage and deployment by
mitigating the risk up-front and enabling teams to innovate
faster."
Availability:
Motific was created from Outshift,
Cisco's internal incubation engine. Motific will be available to
preview at Cisco Live EMEA and will be generally available by June
2024. Customers can visit the Motific webpage for more
information or schedule time to speak with the team.
