"AI is already inside your company. It arrived through your employees' browsers, their phones, their inbox extensions, their creativity, their exhaustion, and their desire to get more done in a day than the system allows."
"The question is not whether your employees are using AI. It is whether they are using it intentionally or unintentionally. That distinction is the heart of the problem for in-house counsel."
"For 20 years, we gave an entire population powerful technology without meaningful guidance. We are living with the consequences. In the workplace, something similar is happening with AI."
AI has infiltrated companies through employee tools and creativity, often without structured governance. In-house lawyers must recognize that unintentional AI adoption poses significant risks. Heath Morgan emphasizes the importance of understanding whether AI is used intentionally or unintentionally, as this distinction shapes workplace culture. The comparison to the 'social media latchkey kid generation' illustrates the consequences of providing powerful technology without guidance. Companies are unknowingly creating 'memory projects' that accumulate data and workflows without intentional oversight.
