You've probably used a free AI tool this week.
Whether it's ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, or another platform, these tools have become part of everyday work. They're fast, accessible, and often incredibly useful.
But what are businesses giving away in exchange?
In this episode of Glitchd, I explore the hidden risks behind free AI tools, including data exposure, confidentiality concerns, model training, and the governance challenges many organisations haven't yet considered.
I also share practical advice on what businesses should be thinking about before employees start uploading documents, client information, financial data, or internal strategy into public AI platforms.
Topics covered include:
• Why "free" AI isn't always free
• What happens to the information you enter into AI tools
• The difference between public and enterprise AI solutions
• Data governance and confidentiality risks
• Why AI policies alone aren't enough
• Practical steps businesses can take to use AI more responsibly
Whether you're a business owner, leader, legal professional, compliance specialist, or simply curious about how AI is changing the workplace, this episode will help you think more critically about the tools you're using every day.
