Foundations of AI & Cybersecurity - Lesson 67: Shadow AI (Autonomous & Unapproved AI Systems)

Foundations of AI & Cybersecurity - Lesson 67: Shadow AI (Autonomous & Unapproved AI Systems)This chapter explains how Shadow AI emerges when employees or departments use unapproved AI tools outside official governance, security, and compliance processes. Itcovers the major risks of Shadow AI, including data leakage, regulatory violations, hidden attack surfaces, governance failures, inaccurate outputs, and executive misuse of sensitive data. The core message is that organizations must move from blocking AI to governed enablement by providing secure alternatives, monitoring usage, and building clear AI governance practices.#AI#Cybersecurity#AIProjectManagement#AIGovernance#AISecurity#AICybersecurity
