In 2025, cybersecurity experts identified several key threats associated with the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in digital systems.

According to data compiled by Statista, data leaks through AI systems were among the top cybersecurity concerns, cited by more industry leaders than even advances in hackers’ capabilities.

This shift reflects worries that widespread integration of generative AI tools into business processes could inadvertently expose sensitive information.

Other top issues include the misuse of AI to craft sophisticated phishing campaigns and malicious code, and the accelerated development of automated attack tools that can adapt and evade traditional defenses.

Statista’s visuals show that nearly one-third of cybersecurity professionals now rank data exposure via AI as a leading risk.
