Recent surveys indicate that over half of New Zealand's Generation Z employees are utilizing generative AI tools, yet only one-fifth are aware of the cybersecurity and privacy risks involved. Experts advise that business leaders need to enhance their knowledge of AI to ensure that employees understand the appropriate use and potential risks of generative AI. Additionally, these tools can easily create misinformation, leading to misleading activities, hence the need for prudent use and protection of sensitive data. The survey also reveals that New Zealanders of different age groups have limited understanding of generative AI tools and lack awareness of associated risks.
