In Depth

AI risk includes the potential for privacy breaches, policy violations, harmful outputs, cost overruns, unreliable automation, reputational damage, and operational disruption. It is best managed through a combination of preventive controls, monitoring, role ownership, and review processes rather than relying on users to self-govern in the moment. Mature organizations classify risk by workflow and impact level instead of treating all AI activity as equally risky or equally safe.
