The intersection of AI governance and cybersecurity

In Brief

  • Nearly 90% of the world’s 4000 largest companies (G4000) are connecting decarbonization efforts to business value.
  • One third of the G4000, and 41% of the G2000 (the largest 2000 companies) have now set full net zero targets covering Scopes 1, 2 and 3.
  • 13 of 21 decarbonization levers are adopted by more than half of the G4000—but only 16% are on track for net zero in operations by 2050.

AI governance plays a critical role in ensuring that the technology is used responsibly, securely, and ethically. Transparency and accountability must be at the core of AI implementation, ensuring that automated decision-making processes can be audited and explained. There is also a growing concern around bias in AI models, as security algorithms trained on unbalanced datasets may lead to inaccurate threat assessments or discriminatory security measures.

Key findings

1. From Goals to Levers

Since 2016, the world’s largest companies have grown their revenues in aggregate by 7% a year while keeping overall operational emissions flat, demonstrating that decoupling growth from emissions leads to competitive advantage.

Conclusion

Another key element in this discussion is cloud computing, which has transformed how data is stored, shared, and protected.
