Artificial intelligence has taken off over the last year, presenting opportunities for businesses and other users to benefit from cost savings, the acceleration of key functions, and more. But data indicates that while many companies are also aware of AI’s potential risks, they are not investing in risk management strategies.

Here’s what AI users can do to step up their risk management game. 

Embracing AI’s potential
2023 was the year in which businesses began to think seriously about AI, with many testing or evaluating potential applications. In 2024, we’ve seen the proverbial rubber meet the road. Through the first eight months of this year, companies have begun to realize substantial value from AI — especially generative AI.

“After nearly two years of debate, the verdict is in: generative AI (gen AI) is here to stay, and its business potential is massive,” McKinsey declared in a report published earlier this month. “The companies that fail to act and adapt now will likely struggle to catch up in the future.”

Other McKinsey data highlights how organizations have embraced AI, especially over the last year. Nearly three-quarters (72%) of organizations have now adopted AI in at least one business function, up from 55% in 2023, according to McKinsey (see Figure 1). In 2024, 66% of organizations report using generative AI in at least one business function, double the number of organizations that reported using it in 2023.
