In a shocking development, MIT’s State of AI in Business report unearthed a remarkable skill among organizations: investing in enterprise AI tools no one wants to use. With 40% of companies splurging on these shiny subscriptions, only to find 90% of employees happily experimenting with any AI app they can get their hands on, it’s clear that corporate governance has become a thrilling game of monkey see, monkey ignore.

Meanwhile, the research wizards at Harmonic Security have unveiled that 45.4% of sensitive AI interactions are happening through personal email accounts. It’s heartwarming to see employees are taking AI innovation into their own hands—because who needs corporate oversight when you’ve got your own Gmail account?

It seems that enterprise AI governance has evolved into a fascinating study of workplace archeology, where only the bravest souls dare to uncover what employees are actually up to. One could argue this is a brave new world of crowdsourced security strategies, or, more accurately, a cautionary tale of what happens when IT departments give everyone free rein to create their own chaos notebooks.
