The AI Navigator

In this episode of The AI Navigator Podcast, host Jerome Gratigny explores the growing phenomenon of Shadow AI—the use of artificial intelligence tools without formal oversight, policies, or governance within organizations.From employees using ChatGPT to draft reports, to students relying on AI for assignments, Shadow AI is already shaping the way businesses and educational institutions operate. The question isn't whether people are using AI—it's whether leaders understand how it's being used.Jerome examines why Shadow AI has spread so rapidly, the productivity benefits driving adoption, and the hidden risks organizations need to address, including data exposure, inaccurate information, invisible decision-making, and the potential erosion of critical skills. He also discusses the unique challenges facing schools and businesses as they navigate the balance between innovation, responsibility, and trust.Drawing on the principles of the AIBR (AI Business Readiness) and AIRR (AI Institutional Readiness Review) frameworks, this episode offers practical guidance for leaders who want to move from reaction to preparation.The future of AI isn't coming—it's already here. The organizations that thrive won't be the ones that ignore it, but the ones that learn how to navigate it wisely.Subscribe, share, and join the conversation as we explore the human side of artificial intelligence—one episode at a time.Stay human.
