Emerging Benefits and Risks of AI
Powerful tools can be used for good or misused for harm. AI is no different.
Per a recent Deloitte Consulting survey, 82% of AI early adopters report a positive return, averaging 17%. Tech, media & entertainment, and telco companies are leading the ROI.
Adoption of new technology brings cybersecurity risks. 59% of businesses surveyed are using AI with their enterprise software. Such integration represents new avenues for attack, data leakage, transaction manipulation, and potential service disruption. Rightfully so, cybersecurity tops the list of concerns for respondents. 32% reported AI related breaches.
Security concerns are creating in friction for AI adoption. About 20% of those surveyed are holding off of launching AI programs and 30% are slowing down implementation due to cybersecurity risks.
The industry must collaboratively move with forethought and work proactively to secure AI, thereby enabling the tremendous business benefits.

AI can be used for good and bad things. Some people sadly choose the bad side.
It’s scary to think how wrong this could go... excited to see safe solutions...
I want future AI to be smart (but not too smart), safe, private, and secure.
Can't argue with that! Sign me up for that future.
this challenges businesses to create new solutions to the adapting problem. also, i love how you incorporated many stats as evidence into your post.
Hi @mrosenquist i'm not sure about ai i mean we can create a monster but at the same time i don't know how smart and self-sufficient can be a machine to conquer the world hehehe so we have to apply ai in many things but always making machines no trying to create artificial organism. Regards
Most AI is not about creating a sentient being, rather just making systems and data analysis more efficient at scale. This can drive costs down for businesses or open entirely new capabilities to make their product/services more attractive to customers. So, it will be adopted, just like the Internet and cloud technologies have been embraced. But with it, comes risks. We need to be thinking about those risks now, before they become exploitable in systems which control our health, credit, transportation, defense, critical infrastructure, etc.
