If Cybercrime were a nation it would ALREADY be the world's 3rd largest economy. AI is massively boosting cybercrime – already $8 trillion a year. AI-driven cyberattacks are one of the greatest risks for every industry and a threat to every corporation. Our world is already being hit by over 500 million different ransomware attacks a year, 20% of cybercrime. 50% directed at US-based organisations. Although 90% of organisations refuse to pay, that means 50 million do so each year.

Cybersecurity is a Number One issue. Average ransom is $500,000, with no guarantee that data will be restored. Dealing with all damage and restoring things to normal, costs each company more than $2.2m on average, the equivalent of 35,000 hours of time. And that is without the cost to reputation, consumer trust and so on. 66% of companies report significant loss of revenue following an attack, with 29% laying off staff as a result. One in three UK companies hit by a ransomware attack close down altogether. AI itself is already being attacked – by rogue AI. Researchers have already “poisoned” AI by feeding “healthy” AI with hidden code in generative Chat requests, which turned that AI into a “Sleeper Agent”. It can then be hijacked at any time using special triggers in other Chat requests, to do really bad things such as write deliberate vulnerabilities into computer code. Such “poisoning” of AI is permanent, and almost impossible to detect or reverse. It is vital to understand that this is an “asymmetric battle”.

Strategic transformation - why 70% of corporate strategies fail to deliver. Lessons for leadership in all larger corporations. Keynote speaker on strategy and change management

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Leadership, Strategy, Business Ethics - Keynotes

Here is the shocking truth about business strategy in large organisations. 70% fail to deliver as hoped for, especially where large-scale change management is needed. In recent AI initiatives the failure rate has been even higher. For example, a recent survey of 6000 CEOs and senior executives found that 95% of companies had failed to see any benefit from their AI investment over the last three years.

There are multiple reasons for these high levels of failure which include unexpected changes in markets, customer expectations and behaviour, lack of focus on business fundamentals, unclear or over-ambitious objectives, poor cost control, failure to manage risks, and different parts of the business pulling in different directions.

But the core reason is often a disconnect between corporate strategy and how team members actually feel, whether they really believe in it all: involved, committed, engaged.
