Managing AI risks before they outrun your business

AI is transforming workplaces faster than employers can react. 78% of employees use AI, yet only 21% of businesses think they do and fewer than 1% of job listings mention it. This gap creates ‘shadow AI’ risks such as data breaches, GDPR violations and intellectual property issues.

Blocking AI might feel like responsible compliance, but it’s unrealistic. Many employees use their own tools, with only 39% receiving company training and 32% keeping their usage secret.

Our Future Workspaces report explores these figures and risks in detail. It outlines the key challenges for employers, including:

• Adopting and implementing AI effectively
• Governing AI usage
• Managing employee behaviour
• Complying with EU AI Act duties (UK legislation will likely borrow from this).

When it comes to AI in the workplace, getting left behind by top talent and your competition is the price to pay for playing it safe.
