Conceptual analysis drawing on policy documents and empirical literature about data flows, platform economics, and international investment; no original quantitative measurement in this paper.
Increased monitoring and algorithmic management raise concerns about worker autonomy and privacy and will prompt regulatory responses (data protection, algorithmic transparency) that shape adoption costs and trajectories.
Recurring concerns reported across included studies and the review's policy implication section; grounded in qualitative and normative discussions within the literature.
Over-standardisation of curricula can create mismatches between certified competencies and firm-specific needs.
Stated in Risks: the paper warns that overly standardized curricula may not fit firm-specific requirements. This is a conceptual caution, not supported by within-paper empirical comparisons.
High fixed costs may concentrate training capacity among a few providers, risking reduced competition.

Prompt fraud lowers the entry cost of producing convincing fraudulent artifacts, increasing the ease with which attackers can create plausible forgeries.
Economic reasoning and conceptual analysis based on GenAI behavior and illustrative scenarios (no empirical cost or frequency data).
Prompt fraud — the intentional manipulation of natural-language prompts to cause generative AI systems to produce misleading, fabricated, or deceptive artifacts that bypass internal controls — constitutes a novel, low-cost fraud vector that traditional IT- and process-focused controls are ill-equipped to detect or prevent.
Conceptual analysis and threat modeling grounded in literature/regulatory review and illustrative vignettes; no systematic empirical incidence data provided.
Secure infrastructure (including SECaaS-provided tools) affects the availability and trustworthiness of AI training data and models; breaches reduce returns to AI R&D via direct losses and reduced trust.
