SUMMARY:Adopting AI Tools Safely - Take 2
DESCRIPTION:If you’re one of the many businesses using Generative AI tools in your business\, this is important. \nTools such as ChatGPT and Claude may help you save time\, improve productivity and support everyday tasks. \nHowever\, using them without appropriate controls can create significant risks. For example: \n\nEmployees may unintentionally enter confidential business information\, personal data or customer details into an AI tool\, potentially causing a data leak or contributing to a breach of GDPR obligations.\nUnsupervised individual use—sometimes called “shadow AI”—can also create cyber vulnerabilities\, particularly where staff use unapproved services\, weak passwords or insecure connections to business systems.\n\nThis applies especially in regulated firms such as financial services organisations and the legal sector\, but also to anyone using customer data to any degree. \nThe good news is that these risks can be reduced through practical safeguards. \nJoin us online on xxxx when the Cattlegrid Team will explain best practice when deploying AI tools securely and how companies can maintain compliance with data regulations when using them. \nCattleGrid is an AI governance and security tool enabling organisations to deploy and use tools like ChatGPT and Claude with confidence. \nIf you’d like to attend this free session \nBook your place here>>\nWe’ll send an acknowledgement in a few days and reminders with links shortly before the event.
