If you haven't banned ChatGPT or Copilot, your staff are using it. If you have banned it, they are using it on their phones.
The Adecco 2026 Salary Guide reveals a terrifying statistic for compliance officers: 86% of Hong Kong employees use AI in their daily work, yet only 42% have received any policy guidance from their employer.
The Risk: "Data Leakage by Convenience"
Employees aren't malicious; they just want to finish work faster. They are pasting client contracts into public AI tools to "summarize this," unknowingly training public models with your confidential IP.
The Fix: The "Green Lane" Policy
Don't just say "No." Create a "Traffic Light" system:
- 🔴 Red Light (Banned): Never input client names, financial data, or PII (Personally Identifiable Information) into public AI.
- 🟡 Yellow Light (Caution): Drafting emails, brainstorming marketing copy (sanitized data only).
- 🟢 Green Light (Approved): Using the Enterprise version of tools (where data is not used for training) provided by IT.
Action:
You need an "Acceptable Use Policy" (AUP) signed by all staff ASAP!
