๐ STOP or HOLD Automation — Key Reasons
-
⚠️ Rising Scams: Automated WhatsApp and chatbot systems are being hijacked for large-scale scams and phishing.
-
๐ต️♂️ Data Theft Risk: Every automation link (API, CRM, bot) is a new door for hackers.
-
๐ฐ Hidden Costs: Initial savings fade — long-term maintenance, licensing, and breach recovery cost far more.
-
⚖️ Weak Cyber Laws: Most nations, including India, still lack clear laws on AI and automation liability.
-
๐ง Human Oversight Lost: When bots act unsupervised, mistakes and misuse go unnoticed.
-
๐งฑ Security Not Ready: Few organisations have the monitoring, encryption, or response systems to protect automated data flows.
-
๐ Attackers Are Automating Too: Hackers use AI-driven automation to steal data faster than defences evolve.
-
๐ซ No Clear Accountability: When a bot leaks data or sends scam links, who is responsible? No law defines it yet.
-
๐ Vendor Lock-in: Automation tools create long-term dependency and rising renewal costs.
-
๐งพ Regulatory Gap: Data-protection rules haven’t caught up with automated data sharing on platforms like WhatsApp.
✅ Pause for 6–12 Months To:
-
Build stronger cybersecurity frameworks.
-
Draft internal automation policies.
-
Wait for updated cyber laws and clearer compliance rules.
-
Test automation under controlled pilots instead of full rollout.
