We're using AI across multiple departments now and I realized nobody is tracking the risks holistically. Engineering has their own AI tools, marketing is using generative AI for content, HR is piloting AI screening, and finance is testing AI forecasting. I need a structured risk assessment across all of this before something goes wrong.
Plan for: Assess and Mitigate AI Risk Across Your Organization
Departments may hide 'Shadow AI' usage out of fear that their tools will be taken away.
Communicate clearly that the inventory is for safety and enablement, not punishment. Offer an 'amnesty' period for reporting unauthorized tools.
Risk criteria might be too rigid, creating a bottleneck that frustrates fast-moving departments like Engineering.
Implement a tiered risk approach (e.g., low-risk tools get fast-tracked, high-risk tools processing PII require deep reviews).
The dashboard becomes outdated if manual data entry is required to keep it fresh.
Integrate the dashboard directly with IT procurement or SSO logs to automatically flag new AI tools being accessed.
