According to Hungarian reports, two-thirds of people who use AI for work also use their own devices, and a significant share of that use falls outside company control. Grant Thornton Hungary points to the data-protection and pay-transparency risks that shadow AI poses for HR.

Who is affected and how

HR professional
A policy, an approved list of tools and training are needed, because uncontrolled use is a data-protection risk.
manager
Shadow AI use in the team should be mapped rather than driven underground by a ban.
employee
Putting workplace data into a personal AI tool can breach rules and create a data-protection risk.
