LUCAMELarge organisations adopting AI are under growing pressure to demonstrate measurable returns rather than relying on the promise of the technology alone. At the same time, cyber security professionals are grappling with AI models that have shown a capability to probe and exploit IT systems.
What this means for your business
For a small or mid-sized UK business, both sides of this matter. If you are considering AI tools, start with a specific, measurable problem rather than adopting technology for its own sake, so you can judge whether it is actually earning its keep. On security, be aware that AI is now being used by attackers to find weaknesses more quickly than before, which makes keeping software patched and access controls tight more urgent than ever. Speak to your IT provider about whether your current defences account for this shift.
