Shadow AI: The Hidden Risk in Your Business

While many business leaders are being encouraged to adopt AI tools, far fewer are being warned about the dangers of using them without oversight.

According to new research from Microsoft, 71% of UK employees have used unapproved consumer AI tools at work and over half continue to do so every week. The use of ‘Shadow AI’ presents a growing risk to the privacy and security of UK organisations.

Uncontrolled use of AI in your organisation can lead to:

• Data and privacy breaches
• Cybersecurity vulnerabilities
• Legal and regulatory exposure
• Reputational harm
• Loss of control
• Loss of customer trust

But with the right controls and governance in place, AI can quickly be a powerful accelerator. This webinar will show you how.
