Identify some risks with AI

Bias

Which can result in biased/subjective information based on the data used. AI can also be generative and if it does not find a relevant answer, it might still give it to please the customer.

Careful with sensitive information

Uneducated people (in the AI aspect) can reveal sensitive information to the popular LLMs.

Badly configured AI bots

"Hackers" can prompt AI to reveal critical/sensitive data its not supposed to reveal.

Hacking tool

Can make the job of hacking more easy and accesible to get information.

Replacement of jobs

Weak AI have allready replaced some jobs which can result in unemployment for people with job with "simple" tasks.

What is sensitive data / information?

Personal information

Personal number, name, bank information, credit card, phone number, password, email, "personal security answers", physical address, ip and more.

Confidential government/military information

Information that could have another country undermine one another. Or leaking an upper hand in form of information to the other countries.

Confidential business information

Sensitive information you dont want to your competitors to get, maybe even bury the company. They store personal data as well regarding employees and customers. Data breaches can result in legal fees and reputational downfall.

What is the weakest link in security?

Security is not stronger than its weakest link. A lot of hacks happens through users like phising and vishing, bad usernames/passwords and no MFA, public wifi. There will also be a weakest link in any system, so you have to make a safety net and utilize multiple layers for resistance against the hackers. No segmentation on servers can also result in severe damage.
