Gartner warns AI inference could drive most privacy breaches by 2029

Gartner forecasts that most personal data breach incidents through 2029 will stem not from direct leaks of personally identifiable information but from AI-generated inferences about individuals. As companies reduce the amount of personal data they hold due to regulation and costs, threat actors can carry out inference-based attacks using AI. Gartner says firms must rethink privacy strategies and manage how AI systems generate and use personal insights, and expects spending on data integrity to rise.
