US companies discover hidden coast of using AI
(MENAFN) A new study has found that the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in business operations is contributing to more costly data breaches, as stated by reports.
According to the "Cost of a Data Breach 2025" study, 13 percent of the 600 surveyed organizations reported breaches involving their own AI systems or applications, often lacking even basic security measures.
Additionally, cybercriminals are now leveraging AI tools themselves, with one out of every six breaches involving the use of such technology for phishing and deepfake scams.
Unauthorized AI use, also known as “shadow AI,” is proving especially expensive. About 20 percent of the companies surveyed cited these unapproved systems as the cause of their data breaches. When such systems were involved, the average cost of a breach rose to $4.74 million, compared to $4.07 million where no shadow AI was found.
