Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are transforming work across various sectors, but their integration introduces significant privacy concerns for both individuals and organizations. A study involving 224 participants from diverse employment sectors revealed that individual privacy perceptions, proficiency in using ChatGPT, and existing organizational policies for GenAI all influence actual usage patterns. Understanding these interactions is crucial for effective deployment and risk management of AI in the workplace.
Why it matters

Organizations must address these concerns to mitigate potential data breaches, maintain trust, and comply with evolving regulatory landscapes, which ultimately impacts operational resilience and reputation.
