# [Report: AI, Automation and the Next Generation of Technology Risk](https://blog.riskrecon.com/resources/reports-and-whitepapers/report-ai-automation-and-the-next-generation-of-technology-risk)

It's no question that artificial intelligence is reshaping how organizations operate. But it's also reshaping how cyber risk emerges. As AI systems reason, generate outputs, and act autonomously, traditional security models struggle to keep pace. This thought‑leadership report explores how AI introduces a new class of behavior‑based risk and what it takes to design for resilience in an AI‑driven world.

 

In this report, you’ll discover:

- Why AI represents a new execution layer, not just another technology risk
- How attackers are shifting from exploiting vulnerabilities to manipulating system behavior
- The 8 emerging AI risk classes, including prompt injection, insecure output handling, and excessive agency
- What a modern AI resilience strategy looks like: built on continuous visibility, risk quantification, simulation, and threat intelligence
