The Security Risk Of Rampant Shadow AI
DARKReading, Thursday, January 23rd, 2025
While employees want to take advantage of the increased efficiency of GenAI and LLMs, CISOs and IT teams must be diligent and stay on top of the most up-to-date security regulations.
The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has cast a long shadow, but its immense promise comes with a significant risk: shadow AI.
Shadow AI refers to the use of AI technologies, including AI models and generative AI (GenAI) tools outside of a company's IT-sanctioned governance. As more people use tools like ChatGPT to increase their efficiency at work, many organizations are banning publicly available GenAI for internal use. Among the organizations looking to prevent unnecessary security risks are those in the financial services and healthcare sectors, as well as technology companies like Apple, Amazon, and Samsung.
