The survey found that all of the surveyed institutions have already utilized artificial intelligence. AI95 % of them expect to accelerate the application in the coming year; 90% of the surveyed institutions reported having already used or evaluating methods to prevent cyberattack risks; and 55% of the institutions are currently using or testing proxy-based AI.
