Report Overview
Amid a business landscape that is increasingly focused on responsible innovation, this report offers a clear executive perspective on managing AI-related cyber risks. It empowers leaders to invest and innovate in AI with confidence and exploit emerging opportunities for growth. To unlock full potential, it is essential to develop a comprehensive understanding of these cyber risks and related mitigation measures.
Throughout the report, we explore a central question: How can organisations reap the benefits of AI adoption while mitigating the associated cybersecurity risks?

This year’s World Economic Forum Annual Meeting convened under the theme 'Collaboration in the Intelligent Age'. Cybersecurity was a top priority of the event. As in previous years our director, Professor Sadie Creese, contributed to critical discussions on the challenges and opportunities of the rapidly evolving digital landscape. AI Cybersecurity is at the forefront of these debates and our latest report provides essential insights and guidance on how to maximise the transformative power of AI technologies while minimising cyber risks.
