AI is no longer sitting on the sidelines of resilience. It is becoming part of the toolkit.

In just two years, the proportion of organisations using an AI tool for business continuity and resilience activities has more than tripled:
7.2% → 15.5% → 24.4%

That means almost one in four organisations now report using AI in this space.
But adoption is only one part of the story.

The latest BCI Continuity & Resilience Report 2026, sponsored by Riskonnect, highlights three foundations that will matter as organisations move from experimentation towards meaningful integration:
🔹 Data integrity
🔹 Cybersecurity robustness
🔹 Human and AI collaboration

The opportunity is significant, but the value of AI will ultimately depend on the quality of the environment around it.

For resilience teams, the question is therefore becoming less “Should we explore AI?” and more “Are we ready to integrate it responsibly and effectively?”

In two weeks, you will encounter this reality as AI-generated insights complicate an already complex situation. You will learn how to identify when data appears authoritative but feels inaccurate and discover techniques for questioning assumptions, especially when time is limited.

Furthermore, you will understand that maintaining healthy skepticism, even towards intelligent tools, is a leadership strength, not a weakness.
