IBM warns of a "silent risk layer" in enterprise AI.
The Story
This risk involves governing data exposure in the age of generative AI, a critical concern for businesses.
Why It Matters
This isn't just theory. For a European SMB, uncontrolled data exposure through generative AI is an EU AI Act ticking bomb. Your client data, your IP, your competitive edge could slip out if you're not governing how employees use these tools. Pharma and legal firms, especially, face severe GDPR and regulatory penalties if sensitive information leaves your control.
What To Do About It
Before deploying any generative AI, map your sensitive data flows. Check your Microsoft 365 Copilot settings first; many firms already have it but don't govern its use. I can help you audit these internal data pathways to prevent accidental exposure.
