Turn Shadow AI into Your Competitive Advantage

Avoiding the 5 Hidden AI Risks Your team is already using AI – and that means you have momentum. But, without visibility, guardrails, and shared goals… you could be missing some of your biggest opportunities. It’s time to point everyone in the same direction – one that works for your business, not around it. In this interactive webinar, Steve Ferman, Chief AI Officer and Scaling Up Coach, will walk you through how to turn Shadow AI Into Your Competitive Advantage by avoiding 5 common pitfalls and risks that most leaders are not aware of: • Shadow AI — employees already using AI tools on their own, with no approval, no oversight, and no policy governing what they do with it. • Data privacy, leakage, and security risks — sensitive company and client information moving through tools nobody on your leadership team has actually vetted. • Lost collaboration — every department running its own disconnected tool, with no shared system and nothing that survives when that employee leaves. • Falling behind — competitors building a real AI strategy while you either freeze completely or spend money on tools that don't fix the actual problem and just add to the chaos. • Regulatory Exposure – HIPAA. ERISA. EEOC. IRS. OSHA. Multi-state privacy law. AI doesn't ask what industry you're in before it creates risk. You'll Learn: • How to find what AI tools your team is already using, and where your real exposure sits. • Why mapping your processes has to come before you automate anything. • How to evaluate and prioritize your AI risk so you know what to fix first. • Why a written AI usage policy and a dedicated AI council are the foundation for everything else. • When and how to start upskilling your team so adoption doesn't stall out.
