A recent article featuring insights from Devroop Dhar, Co-founder and India CEO at Primus Partners, mentions that the increasing trust users place in AI assistants is creating a new category of cybersecurity and behavioural risks. As AI tools become widely recognized as sources of productivity advice, technical guidance, and everyday decision-making support, users may be more likely to accept recommendations without questioning their accuracy or intent.
The article further highlights that this trust can be exploited if malicious or misleading instructions are delivered through AI platforms. According to the analysis, organizations, technology providers, and policymakers must focus on strengthening AI safety measures, promoting responsible deployment practices, and improving digital literacy to ensure that growing reliance on AI does not inadvertently expose users to emerging threats.
