Here's something that's true for almost every established business in Australia right now. Your team is using AI - probably multiple people, possibly daily. What's less certain is which tools they're using, what information is going into them, and what the terms of service actually allow.
Recent research shows 60% of Australian workers are using AI tools their employer hasn't approved. That's not fringe behaviour. It's the majority of your team. This episode is about what that means in practice - the specific risks, and what it actually takes to fix it. Not with an investigation, but with the infrastructure your team has been waiting for.
In This Episode We Cover
- Why 60% of teams using shadow AI isn't actually a people problem
- The difference between a free and a business AI account that changes everything when sensitive information is involved
- Three areas where shadow AI creates genuine legal and financial exposure
- The December 2026 deadline - a connection most businesses haven't made yet
- Why having a policy document doesn't fix it
- What to ask your team - and how to ask it without making it an investigation
