Right now, someone on your team is probably pasting company data into an AI nobody approved. That's Shadow AI. 🕶️
78% of people who use AI at work brought their OWN tool — ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude (Microsoft & LinkedIn, 2024 Work Trend Index). Samsung learned the hard way: engineers pasted confidential source code into ChatGPT, so it banned the tool in 2023… then rolled out ChatGPT Enterprise to its own staff in 2026.
The lesson for any business: don't ban AI — sanction it. Give people an approved tool, a private/enterprise instance, and one rule: customer data never touches a public model.
