Shadow AI did not arrive with a rollout plan. It showed up quietly, on personal accounts, and it is probably helping.
Somebody on your team used an AI tool this week. They did not ask permission. They were not trying to cause a problem, they were trying to finish something faster.
Now multiply that by your headcount. That is shadow AI: real productivity, real exposure, and almost no visibility into either one. Most organizations respond by banning it, which does not stop the behavior. It moves the behavior somewhere they cannot see.
Vertikal6 and DiSanto Priest are teaming up for an unscripted hour on what to do instead of pretending it is not happening.
What we will get into
• How to find out which AI tools are actually in use, without turning it into a witch hunt
• Why blanket bans fail, and what works better
• What an AI policy looks like when people actually follow it
• The sanctioned tools you are probably already paying for
Format
Sixty minutes. Forty five minutes of conversation, fifteen minutes of your questions. No slides. No product demo. Three people who have had this conversation with a lot of leadership teams, comparing notes in public.
Who should attend
CEOs, CIOs, COOs, IT Directors, and Operations Directors in any industry. If your organization has never formally decided anything about AI, this hour is for you.
