AI Chatbots Could Be A Trojan Horse in the Office

A growing number of employees are sharing sensitive work information with AI chatbots without permission, posing significant security risks. A survey found 38% of workers engage in this practice, with younger generations more likely to do so. The unauthorized use of AI tools, known as "shadow AI," is becoming a major concern. Experts recommend encrypting data, limiting AI access, and creating clear organizational policies to mitigate risks. Companies face potential fines, loss of customer trust, and data breaches if these issues are not addressed.
