Why AI reputational risks need cultural readiness

The biggest AI reputational risks I’m seeing inside organisations right now:

  • Deepfakes (external threat)
  • Biased or offensive AI outputs (internal threat)
  • Confidential data leaks via unsecured AI use (internal threat)
  • Misinformation amplified by AI (external threat)

I’ve advised leadership teams through all four in the last 12 months.

The fix isn’t just technical – it’s cultural and procedural.

Every team, from comms to legal to IT, needs to know their role before it happens.
