Most employees are not prepared to give robots complete autonomy, according to a study by Kaspersky. The research, which investigated the impacts of automation and the increased use of robotics and other AI-powered machines, found that the majority of employees do not think that production processes run by robots can be quickly restored in the event of a cyberattack or malfunction. In fact, 82% of respondents believe that full recovery would take a few days or longer.
Cybercriminals can harm businesses through various methods, including emails, virtual spaces, endpoints, and embedded systems, and are always looking for new ways to attack. This is something that companies should keep in mind when implementing new technologies like robotics into their business processes. While robotics can improve production efficiency, they also present significant cybersecurity concerns related to their safety and reliability.
In light of these concerns, Kaspersky conducted a survey to gather opinions on the use of robots in the workplace from people working in specific industries and to understand any challenges or security issues that may arise when introducing robots in the workplace.
Robots in the workplace prone to cybersecurity risks
The study found that most employees in companies with functioning production robots are aware of the potential cybersecurity risks. Only 8% of them think that disabled robots can be quickly repaired in the event of a cyberattack. Over half (51%) expect that recovery efforts would take a few weeks or longer, while the more optimistic respondents (31%) believe that normal production processes could be restored within a few days.
People fears a lack of control and regulations when it comes to robots in enterprise
Given the risks that rapid robotization may pose, more than half (69%) of respondents in the study stated that it is uncertain who would be held responsible if robots fail during an equipment malfunction or a cyberattack. This is one of the reasons why employees want to retain leadership positions for humans. The majority of respondents (75%) believe that robots can improve production efficiency, but only with human supervision. Only 15% of employees are willing to trust the management of any production process entirely to an AI robot.
