•	Whilst artificial intelligence (AI) is undeniably a useful tool, the velocity in which AI has continued to develop and the varying platform options available, could leave firms exposed.
•	Misinformation and disinformation pose serious business and ethical risks to companies, especially those utilising AI technology for consulting and advisory services. 
•	The input of mass data, including confidential and sensitive personal information will need to be carefully considered as AI can be manipulated by threat actors.
