The last few years have seen great advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.
The benefits thisbrings to organisations are enormous and range from cost savings to more efficient ways of performing
mundane and laborious tasks. One of the key benefits stemming from AI is assistance in decision making, using data that wasn’t previously available. This has led to AI use in organisations exploding like no other technology before.
These benefits come with risks as there have been multiple reports of cases of data leakage due to the use of AI systems. AI systems can be impacted by cyber security threats and vulnerabilities that can lead to inaccurate information effecting decision making because of malicious or erroneous activities.
RSM is pleased to offer its AI Secure by Design Review and Systems Assessment service that can help organisations identify, mitigate and manage their AI risks.
