In April 2023, an estimated 16% of all UK businesses had adopted at least one AI technology. However, this number is now likely to increase significantly with the growth of more accessible and powerful generative AI models. To inform our policy work in this space, the Department wants to improve its understanding of the cyber risks to AI models and systems. The Department would therefore like to commission a study to comprehensively map the cyber risks to different AI technologies and their deployment. ### Objectives The Department is commissioning this research primarily to develop a comprehensive mapping of the cyber security risks to AI models and systems. More specifically, the Department seeks to gain: - Comprehensive mapping of cyber security risks to AI across different AI technologies and across different parts of the AI life cycle. - An understanding of all AI risks with a delineation between those specific to broader software and those solely in relation to AI. - Identification of the impacts these vulnerabilities and risks can cause, including the scale of the damage/impact.
