AI 101: WHEN AND HOW TO PROPERLY USE AI AT WORK WITHOUT PUTTING YOUR EMPLOYER’S DATA AT RISK

LEARN THE PROPER RULES FOR AI ENGAGEMENT AND HOW TO KEEP YOUR DATA SAFE

BACKGROUND:
AI isn’t just for Silicon Valley anymore—it’s showing up in offices, schools, hospitals, and businesses small to large across the country. In the past two years, employee use of tools like ChatGPT has skyrocketed 61-fold, making them as common as email in some workplaces. But with that rapid adoption comes new risks: insiders misusing AI have been caught uploading sensitive company data to public servers or even posing as fake IT contractors linked to North Korea. These stories aren’t just happening at big tech firms—they’re unfolding in the very industries communities rely on, from banks to local employers.

How can companies and employees harness AI’s potential while managing the substantial data risks it introduces?

In this interview, Cyberhaven’s Aman Sirohi breaks down everything you need to know to help prevent today’s productivity tools from becoming tomorrow’s security breach.

TIPS FOR SAFER AI USE IN THE WORKPLACE:

Fact-check generated content – do not assume everything AI drafts is factual. It’s always important to review the AI-generated material to ensure accuracy.
Keep data security top of mind – do not input confidential information into AI systems that lack proper security measures.
Use enterprise safeguards — Companies can deploy solutions like Cyberhaven that prevent sensitive data from being exposed to AI tools while still letting employees benefit from them.
