Artificial Intelligence has been revolutionary in helping automate tasks, improve decision-making, and drive innovation. The use of AI is rapidly expanding in organizations of all sizes, and for good reason. AI has the potential to revolutionize the way we work and live and while the benefits of using AI are too big to ignore, the risk is very high.

One of the biggest risks associated with AI is the phenomenon of “Shadow AI.” 

What is Shadow AI? This refers to the use of AI applications and tools that are implemented and used without the explicit knowledge or control of an organization’s IT department. This can pose a number of risks, including:

  • Data privacy: Shadow AI applications and tools may have access to sensitive data, which could be accidentally exposed or used for unauthorized purposes.

  • Non-compliance: Shadow AI applications and tools may not be compliant with regulatory requirements, which could lead to fines or other penalties.

  • Cyber security: Shadow AI applications and tools may be vulnerable to cyber attacks, which could result in data breaches or other security incidents.

As an organization, there is always something you can do to mitigate the risks of Shadow AI.
