AI chatbots in the workplace are posing security risks as employees unknowingly share sensitive work information with these tools without employer permission.
Younger workers, especially Generation Z and millennials, are more likely to engage in this behavior.
The lack of awareness about data exposure risks and inadequate guidance from employers contribute to the problem.
Experts recommend encrypting data, limiting chatbot access, addressing the unauthorized use of AI tools by employees, and closely monitoring AI activity to mitigate risks.
