Global leaders rank adversarial AI attacks as the biggest cyber preparedness gap
Industry Or Public Sector UpdatePwC’s 2027 Global Digital Trust Insights survey of 3,934 business and tech leaders across 71 countries found that adversarial AI attacks are the biggest cyber preparedness gap. Respondents also reported fragmented AI risk ownership, with accountability split among CIO/CTO teams, dedicated AI leaders, and CISO or cyber functions, while only around half said they had fully implemented data classification and data loss prevention policies. Many organizations are prioritizing AI security budgets, responsible AI governance, platform hardening, and supply chain security, but AI oversight skills shortages and technology reliability concerns remain major barriers.
