The premise
Internal AI misuse risks are real; policy and technical controls together reduce them.
What AI does well here
- Establish clear acceptable-use policies
- Implement technical controls (data classification, output monitoring)
- Train employees on policy and risk
- Build incident response for misuse
What AI cannot do
- Eliminate misuse through policy alone
- Substitute monitoring for actual culture
- Treat employees as enemies (it backfires)
