Rushed AI deployments and skills shortages are putting businesses at risk

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 13:05:00 +0000
Description:
Not only has AI opened up more cybersecurity worries, but companies are
struggling to attract and retain the right talent.
FULL STORY
Nearly one in five US organizations have experienced security incidents as a
result of their AI deployments according to new research commissioned by
Expereo.
The report reveals how two in five (41%) organizations struggle to find and
retain cybersecurity talent, yet cybersecurity is a close second when it
comes to investment priorities at 38%, compared with networking and
connectivity (43%).
More broadly, ongoing geopolitical tensions are also affecting how
organizations go about deploying artificial intelligence, with 50% noting the
impact of such events on their growth strategies.
Rushed AI deployments are becoming costly
Before it even gets to the point of a potential breach, the research reveals
how one in three global CIOs believe boards have unrealistic expectations
about AI`s impact - and more than a quarter (27%) of US tech leaders feel
similarly.
This is a trend that appears to be more of a concern abroad, with 28% of
global technology executives saying AI expectations are growing faster than
their ability to meet them above the US average of 23%.
Over half (52% globally, 53% in the US) agree that their network connectivity
is not ready for new technologies like AI, with more respondents concerned
about network performance limitations than last year.
As if AI-induced cybersecurity concerns aren`t enough, ongoing trade wars
continue to add further complexity. One-third (34%) of global tech leaders
have had to reassess their infrastructure due to geopolitical risks, with 37%
noting the affect of such disruptions on their growth strategies a figure
that climbs considerably to 50% in the US.
"While the potential of AI is immense, its successful integration requires
careful planning. Technology leaders must recognize the need for robust
networks and connectivity infrastructure to support AI at scale, while also
ensuring consistent performance across these networks," Expire CEO Ben Elms
commented.
Looking ahead, cybersecurity isn`t the only consideration for businesses when
it comes to adopting AI tools . AI governance, the pace of change and
inadequate capabilities are among the three biggest external hurdles, with
employee resistance still affecting companies internally.
