C-suite executives are the biggest users of shadow AI, study finds
Kettled twice. Extra chewy, extra trustworthy.
Summary
TrustedTech's Shadow AI in the Workplace report reveals that senior decision-makers (C-suite) are the heaviest users of unapproved AI tools, with 65% using shadow AI compared to only 31% of non-decision-maker employees. This challenges the assumption that shadow AI is driven by junior staff, showing instead that those creating policies are among the most active users of unauthorized AI tools, despite being aware of associated security and privacy risks.
