A small group of "future-ready" companies are building more responsive AI strategies by supporting continuous learning and enterprise-wide insight. According to Adecco's CEO Denis Machuel, AI-driven transformation must be human-centric. Without this understanding, AI efforts can become siloed and misaligned. Enterprise Architecture can help focus AI initiatives on a company's unique strengths and workflows, guiding deployments that reinforce strategic priorities.

Despite the benefits of AI in strengthening cyber defenses, 94% of companies believe AI will negatively impact their cyber risk exposure within three to five years. The study found that 81% of global businesses are already using AI-driven tools for cybersecurity, with many relying on it for essential processes like automated asset discovery and anomaly detection. However, the increasing use of AI also poses significant risks, including sensitive data exposure, proprietary data exploitation, and compliance pressures.

The company's CEO, Andy Jassy, has warned that the implementation of AI technology will result in job cuts as it changes the way work is done. Currently, Amazon employs 1.56 million people, mostly in warehouses, but the increased use of robots and AI may slow hiring and lead to a reduction in its corporate workforce over the next few years.

In high-pressure environments, employees rely on instincts and patterns learned from experience, which attackers can hijack, leading to costly breaches. As generative AI enhances the realism of these tactics, companies must focus on equipping their people with better psychological security awareness to prevent human-driven breaches.
