Balancing AI Innovation with Oversight: The challenge of "Shadow AI."
Our organization recently discovered that over 40 different AI tools are being utilized across various departments, mostly without IT’s knowledge. We want to encourage experimentation, but the current lack of oversight creates major blind spots regarding redundant spending and data security. Are you addressing this through stricter procurement policies, or are you deploying technical solutions to monitor usage? I’m curious how others are gaining visibility into their AI ecosystem without slowing down their teams.
