Assessing The Risk Of AI In Enterprise IT
ComputerWeekly, Thursday, July 10th, 2025
We speak to security experts about how IT departments and security leaders can ensure they run artificial intelligence systems safely and securely
Given the level of tech industry activity in artificial intelligence (AI), if they haven't already, most IT leaders are going to have to consider the security implications of such systems freely running in their organisations. The real risks of AI are that it offers employees easy access to powerful tools and the implicit trust many place in AI-generated outputs.
Javvad Malik, security awareness advocate at KnowBe4, urges IT and security leaders to address both. While the possibility of an AI system compromise might seem remote, Malik warns that the bigger immediate risk comes from employees making decisions based on AI-generated content without proper verification.
