AI Border Control Risks for NZ Firms

AI checks now scan every cargo. They use smart eyes.

The Problem for NZ Firms

AI tools can miss hidden threats. Hackers hide code in data.

Joe’s Cafe imported coffee beans. Their system let bad code slip.

Key Point: AI checks need human eyes to catch tricks.
