Episode notes
Find out how to manage shadow AI in your organisation before it becomes a data and compliance risk. A pulse survey of over 40 professionals revealed that 90.7% are already using AI at work, yet only 12.8% are using officially approved tools. Nearly 70% are unsure whether their tools are sanctioned, and 59% simply do not care. Microsoft and Gartner data confirm this is not a niche problem: it is a global governance crisis playing out in real time. This episode explains why blanket bans backfire, what the data tells us about employee motivation, and three practical steps leaders can take to close the governance gap without shutting down innovation.
