Shadow AI: What happens when UAE employees bring their own AI to work, and why it
Abu Dhabi: Two experts in corporate work and law have warned of the spread of the ‘shadow AI’ phenomenon in the workplace, as employees are no longer content with bringing their personal devices to the offices, but are now bringing their own. They emphasised that while this new digital trend saves employees long working hours and speeds up the pace of achievement, it presents institutions with a real security dilemma known as ‘shadow.
Employees perform the work of the organisation without these tools being officially approved, or without their use being fully subject to the organisation’s controls related to data, privacy, security and risk management.
