💡 AI in the workplace: smart or risky?

🚨 The risks of AI on work devices

We asked our LinkedIn followers¹:
“What do you see as the biggest risk when using AI on a work device?”

The results:

• 🛑 Sharing sensitive info – 38%

• 📜 No policy or agreements – 25%

• 🙈 Tools without IT’s knowledge – 25%

• 🤷 No visibility into AI tools – 13%

Striking, but not surprising: most concerns are about information security and lack of control. And rightly so.

 

🧩 Shadow IT is back – and it’s now called AI

Many AI tools work through browser extensions or plugins. Convenient for the user, but invisible to IT. This creates risks such as:

• Unintentional data breaches

• Compliance issues (think AVG / ISO)

• Unsafe work habits no one notices

 

🛡️ Modern workplace = working safely with AI

At ALTA-ICT B.V. we help SMEs to get a grip on the use of AI in the workplace.
So that smart tools are really used safely and responsibly.

🔒 Consider:

• Clear agreements on use of AI

• Insight into what tools are being used

• Training and awareness

• Integration with Microsoft 365 and policies

 

🎯 What’s the situation with you guys?

Are AI tools already being used in your workplaces?
And are there agreements about that?
