Governing Shadow AI

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

Unapproved AI tools are already operating inside most organizations—often without security review, data controls, or executive awareness.

Governing Shadow AI is a practical guide for IT leaders and executives responsible for identifying and managing unsanctioned AI use across the business. The book focuses on detection, containment, and governance rather than blanket prohibition, recognizing that shadow AI often emerges from productivity pressure rather than malicious intent.

It provides clear methods to surface hidden AI usage and apply fast, proportionate controls.

Readers will learn how to:
Identify shadow AI through technical, operational, and behavioral signalsUnderstand the data, privacy, and security risks of unsanctioned toolsApply lightweight policies that enable visibility without blocking innovationImplement quick remediation and approval workflowsEngage business units without triggering workaroundsIntegrate shadow AI findings into risk and audit processes
This book helps organizations regain visibility and control over AI use while preserving agility and trust.
