Businesses are losing control of AI - and bosses are starting to despair

• Shadow AI is becoming a growing concern for firms everywhere
• Bosses are aware of it, but often powerless to stop
• Risks include security flaws, breaches and even data leaks

Bosses everywhere are starting to despair at employees taking the law into their own hands when it comes to using AI at work, new research has shown.

A report from Dataiku has revealed how senior leaders are increasingly frustrated at the use of "shadow AI" in their organizations as workers look for extra help.

The report found 50% of senior British data leaders believe more than half of their employees are using Gen AI tools for company work without permission, possibly putting systems and data at risk.
