Hello. As corporate use of AI surges, more companies are warning investors of the security and privacy risks that come with the technology.

Among the S&P 500, 72% cited at least one AI-related risk in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission this year. That’s up from 58% that did so last year and just 12% in 2023, according to new research from the Conference Board.

This fraught landscape puts more responsibilities on chief information security officers, who are being called on by the C-suite and boards to explain the cyber side effects of AI projects, as we reported Wednesday.

Scroll down for more details about the Conference Board study, along with other news.

Sales are down at U.K. car dealership Vertu Motors after a hack led to key supplier Jaguar Land Rover to stop production of its vehicles for six weeks. Vertu, which sells new and used cars, said it could see up to $7.4 million in lost profit stemming from the JLR cyberattack. Vertu is considering making a claim on its business insurance, Chief Executive Robert Forrester said.
