When it comes to AI use in the workplace, call 2023 the year of living dangerously.
Seeking transformative benefits, businesses of all sizes and across industries are using generative AI tools like ChatGPT, but most are turning a blind eye to the technology’s risks in areas like cybersecurity and compliance.
That’s according to a McKinsey & Co. survey on the current state of AI. A third of respondents indicated that their organizations are using generative AI regularly for at least one business function – mostly in marketing/sales, product development and service operations.
But most generative AI early adopters are overlooking these tools’ risks. For example, only 21% of surveyed organizations have drawn up policies for employee use of generative AI. Only 38% are actively mitigating cybersecurity risks. The rate is lower for regulatory compliance risks at 28%.
