Agentic AI-based services are the new Shadow IT. Change my mind.
I'd argue that very few companies have any real appreciation for how many of their employees are already feeding API keys and other stuff into fairly new and questionable agentic AI tools or platforms. So many companies are like, oh we're taking a wait-and-see approach to adopting AI. Meanwhile, half their dev team is doing critical development work on shared servers that have no authentication or limited (no 2fa) auth.

@briankrebs I am also really curious how many people have aggressively violated various privacy laws by feeding stuff into various LLMs for "summary" and "analysis".

Frankly it should be a much larger compliance nightmare than it is. (Or, I suppose, it *is* a ginormous compliance nightmare and just right now everyone's thinking it isn't. Incorrectly)

@wordshaper @briankrebs this is why i try to buy the drinks for our legal team. they care about privacy, and care at their wit's end.
@dr_a @briankrebs I also am very fond of our legal team, and I am reminded I should make them some whiskey pie next time I’m near. (Lawyers also, for the record, are fond of Bailey’s cream puffs and rum soaked piña colada cakes. I suspect they’re not fond of their own livers, but maybe it’s just the job)
