Unseen AI Use and Its Pitfalls: AI tools, notably ChatGPT, have become a covert staple in many workplaces, used for tasks from email writing to data analysis. Surprisingly, 43% of professionals use AI tools without discussing their use with supervisors, indicating a significant gap in management oversight and strategy alignment (McKinsey, 2023). This trend is even more pronounced in Canada, with over 70% of employees using ChatGPT at work. This unregulated and unmonitored use of AI poses risks such as inaccuracy and misalignment with business strategies, challenging the integrity and efficiency of business operations.

1. The Struggle for Effective AI Integration: The challenge for businesses isn't just the clandestine use of AI but also the effective integration of these technologies. Many companies are yet to establish a structured approach for AI integration, leading to disjointed and unoptimized use. This is highlighted by the fact that only a small percentage of organizations mitigate the most common risk associated with generative AI: inaccuracy (MIT Technology Review, 2023). As AI becomes more sophisticated and integral to business operations, the need for strategic and efficient use becomes paramount.
