SHADOW AI: Do you know how your team are really using AI tools?
20
1:00 PM - 1:45 PM
Employees could be using unapproved AI tools for many tasks and, in the process, uploading sensitive company information or personal data, without fully understanding the risks this can create.
So, how can organisations manage the growing challenge of shadow AI while meeting their obligations under the GDPR, EU AI Act and other developing regulations?
Join experts from VinciWorks and the DPO Centre for a straight-talking discussion on how shadow AI develops and what organisations can do about it.
You’ll learn:
- Where shadow AI is most likely to develop and why it’s difficult to identify
- Why an AI policy alone isn’t enough to manage AI use
- What data protection and governance checks organisations should have in place
- How AI literacy and ongoing training can help support responsible AI use and reduce risk
The session will close with an open Q&A, where you can put your shadow AI questions directly to the panel.
