UK business 'confident' in AI, but divided on cybersecurity benefits according to new AI sentiment tracker
The index captures levels of worry, excitement, trust and confidence in AI-led technology, tracing shifts over time and offering business leaders unique insights into collective attitudes towards AI to help inform decision-making.
In August, more than 200 respondents took part in the first Expleo AI Pulse, with the sentiment score hitting a positive 73 for UK. More than half of those surveyed were excited about the opportunities AI brings to their organisation (52%), eight out of 10 were confident in their company's ability to successfully use AI (80%), with similar numbers trusting that AI will be used ethically (84%).
When asked whether they worried about how AI might transform their business, opinion was somewhat divided, with just over a third confirming they held some fears (36%), while four in ten said they didn't have any worries at all (44%).
Following the launch of DeepSeek and the data security risks it exposed, respondents were also asked about their views on AI in cybersecurity; and opinion was deeply divided, with 56% saying it gives them cause for concern, and 42% having no worries at all.
