When leaders demand control, teams go underground. When organizations wait for certainty, Shadow AI fills the vacuum. I connect the Thr...

Wait for clear rules, governing bodies, official standards—then implement AI safely. But here's the problem: While executives wait for external regulations, shadow AI is already happening.
