KPMG CEO warns AI cybersecurity risks are reshaping business strategy

KPMG U.S. chief executive Tim Walsh has warned that artificial intelligence (AI) presents significant and lasting cybersecurity challenges, with the firm’s 2026 U.S. CEO Outlook revealing that 85% of executives expect cyber threats to affect their organizations over the next three years, while 48% plan to increase cybersecurity investment. The survey of 400 U.S. CEOs also highlights AI’s growing impact on workforce strategies, with 53% planning job reductions in certain areas, 86% redesigning roles for human-AI collaboration, and 83% prioritizing employee retention and retraining. Despite concerns about automation, 89% anticipate overall workforce growth, reflecting continued demand for AI and technology expertise. Mr. Walsh emphasized that KPMG is investing in employee development, AI-powered cybersecurity solutions, and its newly established client technology and innovation unit to accelerate adoption. He also identified outdated corporate infrastructure as a multibillion-dollar cybersecurity opportunity, while stressing that human oversight remains essential as AI transforms auditing, tax, and advisory services.
