Shadow AI is the use of unauthorised AI tools by staff without their organisation's knowledge or approval. The risks are significant: personal data can leak into systems with no legal basis for processing, no oversight on where it goes, and no way to fulfil individuals' rights. Security backdoors can open without IT teams ever noticing.
How can EU institutions respond?
☑️ Clear AI governance policies,
☑️ Technical controls,
☑️ Compliant alternatives to unapproved tools, and
☑️ Ongoing staff training.
Protecting data and embracing innovation are not in conflict, but clear governance is key.
