"Shadow AI," the use of unapproved AI applications by employees, poses a significant security risk to organizations. Driven by efficiency, employees often bypass IT oversight, leading to data breaches and compliance violations as sensitive information is used to train public AI models. Traditional security measures are inadequate to address the rapid proliferation of these unauthorized AI tools. To combat this, the article suggests establishing an Office of Responsible AI to create governance, educate employees on safe AI practices, and proactively monitor for shadow AI deployments. Banning AI tools outright is discouraged; instead, a balanced approach of sanctioned tools and education is recommended to mitigate risks while leveraging the benefits of AI.
