Cybersecurity risks in AI adoption

The threat of a cyber-attack has never been greater and despite the best efforts of businesses and organisations to mitigate risk, many remain exposed as cybercriminals rapidly adapt to new technologies. This includes exploiting weakness in artificial intelligence (AI) technology at a much faster pace than industries are keeping up.

The use of artificial intelligence continues to spread at a staggering speed. Companies worldwide have adopted and implemented AI, in solutions that are reshaping industries through improved efficiency, productivity and decision-making. However, many organisations have integrated AI into their business processes more quickly than they have updated security strategies and protocols. Your risk, technology and cybersecurity leaders must find, understand and mitigate these exposures.

Companies worldwide are adopting and implementing AI in solutions that are reshaping industries through improved efficiency, productivity and decision-making. However, the meteoric rise of AI can overshadow some valid concerns around security and privacy.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) needs no introduction, having managed to rapidly creep into all aspects of life. While in business, AI is creating a plethora of new potential opportunities and efficiencies, it is also presenting new challenges, including in the area of cybersecurity. So how exactly has AI impacted cybersecurity and what are the key risks that can be identified in its present form?
