THINK TANK: Shadow AI at Work: Managing the Unseen GenAI Tools Employees Use

Employees are experimenting with AI tools outside formal governance, often without disclosing their usage. While this “shadow AI” can spark creativity and efficiency, it also raises risks of bias, privacy breaches, and compliance gaps. Leaders must strike a balance between enabling innovation and ensuring responsible use.

This Session Will Examine:

• How shadow AI emerges and why employees adopt it.
• Shadow AI as both innovation engine and risk vector.
• Strategies for governance without stifling innovation.
• Building transparency and trust in AI practices.
• Anticipating the next wave of employee-led AI adoption.
