Over one-third of employees share sensitive work information with AI tools without permission.
Generative AI models can inadvertently store and disclose sensitive or proprietary data shared by employees.
Examples include a financial services firm experiencing a data breach due to unsecured storage by a chatbot and an employee unknowingly training Grammarly on confidential data.
Organizations need to develop AI governance programs, provide training to employees, and approve appropriate AI tools to mitigate risks.
