Deloitte’s new research shows that UK workers are spending nearly £1bn of their own money on AI for work. Could employers’ restrictions drive even more of that use out of sight?
Paul Stokes, CEO and co-founder, Prevalent AI has provided this comment.
“The Deloitte GenAI Workforce Survey shows that enterprises have struggled to keep up with the demands for AI adoption. If British workers are using personal tools to deliver corporate goals, then they are exposing sensitive company data to unnecessary risk.
Technology leaders need a pragmatic approach to AI adoption. By providing the right level of access to employees, together with guardrails and the structured use of enterprise data, they can drive employee productivity while meeting organisational and regulatory requirements around data protection and privacy.”
Honesty, the use of “shadow AI” needs to be cracked down upon because that is only going to end badly. First should come the education, then should come more stricter measures in my opinion.
