Many organizations are blocking generative AI tools like ChatGPT due to concerns over data security and privacy. However, employees continue to use these tools in secret, risking sensitive information breaches. This approach not only leaves businesses exposed but also overlooks the daily productivity boost simple AI tasks could provide.
Companies are focusing on complex, long-term AI use cases, neglecting the immediate benefits employees could gain from secure AI solutions for routine tasks. In the meantime, 43% of employees globally use generative AI regularly in the workplace, up from 20% in 2023, according to a survey by the Boston Consulting Group. Shadow AI, unauthorized use of AI tools, is a growing problem, with 10.8% of employees having used ChatGPT at work and 8.6% pasting company data into it.
