He explains how IT security rules, software lockdowns and blanket AI policies can shut people out, and how organisations can manage those risks without removing the support. He also covers where AI use can become harmful, from over-reliance to sharing sensitive personal information. Finally, he sets out how to agree clear expectations that protect everyone’s wellbeing.
