BSA’s 2024 Global Cyber Agenda represents the enterprise technology sector’s cybersecurity priorities. It urges policies to build on a successful foundation of public-private partnerships, risk-based approaches, and internationally recognized standards and best practices. It recommends leveraging artificial intelligence to improve secure software development and improve cybersecurity risk management.

Cybersecurity helps businesses and government agencies serve customers and citizens securely, and artificial intelligence (AI) for cybersecurity makes this more effective and efficient. Governments around the world are focused on developing AI policies that mitigate risks and maximize benefits of AI.

States introduced approximately the same number of digital transformation bills this year as they did in 2022; however, the 2023 bills were slightly more likely to be enacted.

State legislators introduced more AI-related bills—191—this year than in the previous two years combined, a 440% increase in the number of AI-related bills introduced in 2022.
