They help us draft quick emails, write marketing copy, and even summarize complex reports in seconds. However, despite the efficiency gains, these digital assistants pose serious risks to businesses handling customer Personally Identifiable Information (PII).  Most public AI tools use the data you provide to train and improve their models.

ChatGPT and other generative AI tools, such as DALL-E, offer significant benefits for businesses. However, without proper governance, these tools can quickly become a liability rather than an asset.
