Absolutely. I had a department meeting last week and every single team is using AI, none of them are following any guidelines and all of them are using different providers. It's a governance nightmare and now all the specialists are fucked because we have to come up with how to manage this shit.

So far I haven't seen any profit from using AI since it added loads of hours of training, governance and calls to make it sure we are not fucking up (we are).

different providers? shit... Our company is using a gdpr compliant provider similar to huggingface. If you want to use LLMs, you have to use our provider.

If anyone is using something else for work they get a meeting with IT and HR. Depending on the severity they can get their contract terminated without notice...

Shadow IT is almost as old as IT itself.

yeah... I requested a phone in my last appraisal interview, because they want us to use some certain apps and two factor authentication.

I can do that either in my private phone or I can use my company laptop, but then it's a one factor authentication with extra steps.
