Shadow AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping how we work—but not always in ways businesses can control. While organizations race to adopt enterprise-grade AI tools, a parallel trend is emerging under the radar: employees using unapproved AI platforms without IT oversight. This growing phenomenon, dubbed “Shadow AI,” mirrors the earlier problem of Shadow IT, where employees would install unvetted apps or services to boost productivity. But unlike past software risks, Shadow AI introduces a new level of security, compliance, and ethical challenges that businesses can’t afford to ignore.
