    Shadow AI

    Shadow AI is the unsanctioned use of AI tools by employees, outside the organization's governance.

    Staff paste customer data into ChatGPT, use unapproved code assistants, or wire up personal API keys to internal systems. Shadow AI is the modern shadow IT — a policy, discovery, and enablement problem more than a technical one.
