UK Government issues AI cyber warning to business leaders

6 May 2026

The UK Government has issued an open letter to business leaders warning that advances in artificial intelligence are rapidly increasing the scale and speed of cyber threats facing organisations.

The letter calls on leaders to treat cybersecurity as a board-level priority and take immediate action to strengthen resilience, highlighting that AI is making it easier and faster for attackers to identify and exploit vulnerabilities.

For hospitality businesses and the wider service sector, this serves as a timely reminder of the importance of robust cyber practices, strong governance, and ongoing vigilance in an increasingly digital landscape.

Institute of Hospitality members are encouraged to read and share the letter across their workplaces and professional networks to help raise awareness of this growing threat.
