This isn't just an EU problem, UK identified it as a concern when they were looking at telecomms resilience and the place of vendors such as Huawei:

There's not just a signals risk if you rely on particular infrastructure vendors but simply that you can get caught up in supply chain instabilities.

There's a post going around LinkedIn about how easy it is to generate a fake photo with cheap GenAI tools that looks like a receipt and, oh no, people can lie on their expenses. And I think this panic really sums up the LinkedIn crowd:

• It's a threat model that doesn't make sense.
• It starts from assuming an adversarial relationship between employers and employees.

The threat model doesn't make any sense because about half (and most of the high-value things) I claim on expenses have email receipts already. If someone wants to submit a fake receipt, there are much easier ways than using GenAI to create a fake picture.

But, more importantly, it assumes that your employees are willing to commit fraud for a few tens of dollars, in sufficiently large numbers for it to impact your company. If your relationship with your workforce has deteriorated to that extent, then you're in serious trouble.
