AI Fuels Surge in Data Privacy Investments and Redefines Governance, Cisco report

Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO), the worldwide leader in networking and security, unveiled the results of its 2026 Data and Privacy Benchmark Study, showing a striking shift in how organizations approach data privacy and governance. As AI adoption accelerates, nearly all companies are expanding privacy programs and governance frameworks to protect their data and innovate at scale. The growing demand for high-quality data to power AI is exposing gaps in oversight, and raising the stakes for trust, security, and competitiveness. The bottom line: for organizations to succeed in the AI-era, scalable and responsible AI strategies must be built through a mature, integrated approach to privacy and data governance.

Cisco surveyed 5,200 IT, technology, and security professionals with data privacy responsibilities across 12 markets* worldwide. The study reveals AI as the primary catalyst, driving 90% of companies to report expanded privacy programs, with 93% planning further investment to keep up with the complexity of AI systems and expectations of customers and regulators. Notably, globally 38% of organizations surveyed spent at least $5 million on their privacy programs in the past year, up from 14% in 2024.

AI Raises the Bar for Privacy and Trust, But Governance Is Still Evolving

An overwhelming 95% of organizations report that robust privacy frameworks unlock AI agility and innovation, while an equal 95% recognize privacy is essential for building customer trust in AI-powered services.

This year’s report points to a deep structural shift, where trust is no longer established simply by meeting regulatory requirements. Data governance is now seen as a strategic business enabler with 100% of organizations surveyed in India reporting at least one tangible benefit from their privacy initiatives, such as enhanced agility, innovation, and greater customer loyalty. 46% say that clear communication about how data is collected and used is the most effective way to build customer confidence.

With this momentum, governance is evolving to meet the needs of this changing landscape. Many organizations are still working to define and establish the governance structures required to manage AI responsibly at scale. While nearly two-thirds of organizations in India report having a dedicated AI governance body in place, only 12% describe these structures as mature. And, as AI systems draw from increasingly complex and distributed datasets, 70% of organizations struggle to access relevant, high-quality data efficiently.

“AI is forcing a fundamental shift in the data landscape, calling for holistic governance of all data – both personal and non-personal,” said Jen Yokoyama, Senior Vice President, Legal Innovation and Strategy at Cisco. “Organizations must deeply understand and structure their data to ensure every automated decision is explainable. It’s not just for compliance, but a necessary scaling engine for AI innovation.”

AI Sparks Global Data Flow Challenges

While around 79% of respondents in India are generally positive about data privacy laws, there is a growing push to streamline and update data requirements.

The study found that 91% of organizations surveyed in India face heightened demand for data localization and global data complexity. 91% of organizations in India say data localization adds cost, complexity, and risk to cross-border service delivery. Further, 87% report these requirements limit their ability to offer seamless 24/7 service across markets.

Global companies increasingly prefer technology partners that match their footprint: 87% believe global‑scale providers are better at managing cross‑border data flows.

“To capture the potential of AI, organizations (87%) are advocating for a shift toward harmonized international standards” said Harvey Jang, Cisco Vice President and Chief Privacy Officer. “They recognize that global consistency is an economic necessity to ensure data can flow securely while maintaining the high standards of protection required for trust.”

Building Trust and Innovation in the AI Era

To successfully evolve from reactive compliance to a proactive approach, the data shows that companies should invest in robust data infrastructure, prioritizing transparency, and embedding security and privacy throughout AI initiatives.  Organizations should make informed decisions about data localization, establish strong AI governance, and empower their teams with comprehensive training and safeguards. These concrete actions are crucial for building enduring trust, driving responsible innovation, and ultimately thriving in the dynamic, AI-driven digital economy.

Microfinance Sector Calls for Robust KYC, Stable Funding to Boost Financial Inclusion

By:  Dr Alok Misra, CEO & Director, Microfinance Industry Network 

“The microfinance sector touching lives of nearly 30 crore low income people needs policy support in the form of robust KYC framework for accurate borrower verification and responsible credit reporting. In light of SC judgement restricting Aadhar use, the issue needs to be addressed through solutions such as Aadhaar last-four-digit storage or tokenisation. The other area requiring policy support is availability of stable funding mechanism. High dependence of NBFC-MFIs on bank funding leads to sudden drying up of funds and affects financial inclusion, like seen for last one year. This has resulted in nearly 50 lakh clients going out of formal finance fold.

Other than that, at a macro level, the sector has shown tangible improvement in credit discipline, with Portfolio at Risk (1–90 days) for RBI regulated entities declining from 5.3% in Dec 2024 to 2.4% by end December 2025 and nearly 96% of borrowers are within prescribed MFIN guardrails. We remain hopeful for an early announcement on the proposed credit guarantee scheme for microfinance, which will further strengthen lender confidence and start a virtuous cycle for the sector.”

Qure.ai Secures Major Global Health Grant to Develop AI-Powered Point-of-Care Ultrasound Solutions

Global digital health innovator Qure.ai today announced that it has received a multimillion-dollar grant from the Gates Foundation to advance health equity by improving access to timely, high-quality diagnostics for some of the world’s most preventable infectious diseases.

The grant will enable Qure.ai to develop a large, open-source, multi-modal global health database aimed at accelerating innovation in disease prevention and early detection. The initiative will support WHO-aligned lung health diagnostic pathways and incorporate non-identifiable clinical histories, medical imaging data—including Chest X-rays, Thoracic Ultrasound, and High-Resolution CT scans—as well as cough and lung sound recordings, and laboratory or biological markers. This comprehensive dataset will empower researchers and innovators worldwide to develop, validate, and refine next-generation AI models for global health impact.

As part of the initiative, Qure.ai will also develop AI-enabled point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) algorithms to support the early detection of tuberculosis (TB) and pneumonia, two of the world’s deadliest yet preventable and treatable infectious diseases, particularly in under-resourced regions. TB claims approximately 1.23 million lives annually, while pneumonia causes nearly 2 million deaths each year, including 700,000 children under the age of five—despite both diseases being curable when diagnosed early.

Commenting on the development, Prashant Warier, Founder and CEO, Qure.ai, said,

“In our bid to reach the unreachable, we have spent the last decade deploying AI-enabled X-ray solutions in some of the most remote regions of the world—from sub-Saharan Africa to the heights of Everest and rural Southeast Asia—transforming TB detection and diagnosis. This work has reduced diagnosis timelines from 14 days to just 1–2 days, often without a clinician present. With this grant from the Gates Foundation, we are excited to build on this expertise and scale our impact to reach even more communities.”

Dr. Shibu Vijayan, Chief Medical Officer – Global Health, Qure.ai, added,

“By leveraging the latest advancements in digital health and artificial intelligence, Qure.ai is addressing healthcare’s blind spots—bringing high-quality diagnostics within reach of every clinic, health worker, and child, regardless of geography.”

Highlighting the urgency of the initiative, Dr. Justy Antony Chiramal, Project Lead and Clinical Director, Global Health Innovation, Qure.ai, said,

“This grant allows us to build on years of continuous innovation in public health and push the boundaries of what AI can do for global health. By bringing together tuberculosis, pneumonia, and broader lung health priorities—especially for children in low- and middle-income countries—we are addressing an urgent need. A child dies of pneumonia every 43 seconds, a loss that is both unacceptable and preventable, underscoring the critical need for better diagnostics and equitable access to care.”

Qure.ai is a global digital health leader with deployments across 105+ countries and over 4,800 healthcare sites worldwide, supporting the detection and management of tuberculosis, lung cancer, and neurocritical conditions such as stroke through AI-powered solutions.
