In recent years, the popularity of AI and big data models has always been high. However, do you truly understand the hidden risks behind this trend? For numerous companies, the rapid development of artificial intelligence has exacerbated cyber risks, which can even be considered the most significant risk of all.
The data from the "2025 Risk Barometer" is astonishing! Cybersecurity incidents account for 38% of it, firmly holding the number one position and setting a record by being 7% higher than the second. The risks brought by the new technologies and AI development have entered the top ten global risks for the first time, ranking tenth. Business interruption risks closely related to cyber risks rank second at 31%, while natural disasters rank third at 29%.
Nowadays, businesses are becoming increasingly dependent on technology, with AI being integrated into more and more products and services. It is quite possible that in the future, cyber risks will still be the biggest challenge faced by enterprises. Moreover, in the Allianz Risk Barometer, cyber risks also overlap with several other high-ranking risks. This means that the impact of cyber risks is much broader and more severe than we imagine. Therefore, in the face of AI development, while we embrace new technologies, we must pay even greater attention to the cybersecurity!
