AI Usage by Employees: Understand the Risks and Mitigations

Despite the AI hype, generative AI is being widely used, and both blocking and unregulated use come with risks. Blocking AI can lead to “shadow AI” usage, where users bypass controls, increasing risk. Moreover, prohibiting AI can stifle productivity, innovation, and alienate employees in a competitive job market. Understanding how your people are using AI is critical before assessing risks or creating policies.

 

In this webinar, WitnessAI CTO Gil Spencer and Ultimate IT Security’s Randy Franklin Smith discuss real-world AI usage risks in organizations and how to manage them. Key topics include identifying which tools are being accessed, understanding user intent, and implementing effective controls.
