AI has already become a part of business as usual, as enterprises leverage and integrate new features and tools into their day-to-day workflows, multiplying the volume of transactions and data generated.

Despite the mounting security risk and increasing number of data protection incidents, enterprises are adopting AI tools in large numbers.

Even as enterprise AI adoption continues to surge, organizations are increasingly blocking AI and ML transactions because of data and security concerns.

Today, enterprises block 18.5% of all AI transactions, a 577% increase from April to January, for a total of more than 2.6 billion blocked transactions.

Although the UK's share of global enterprise AI transactions is only 5.5%, it leads enterprise AI traffic in EMEA with over 20%. France and Germany, as expected, follow closely behind as the second and third largest enterprise AI traffic generators in EMEA. However, the United Arab Emirates is a rapidly growing technological innovator in the region that has also emerged as a prominent AI adopter.

In the APAC region, researchers discovered a staggering increase of nearly 1.3 billion more enterprise AI transactions compared to EMEA. This surge can likely be attributed to India's extensive usage and adoption of AI tools for conducting business across the tech sector, and it may suggest a higher concentration of tech jobs, stronger willingness to adopt new innovations, and fewer barriers to usage.
