A company discovered employees were feeding proprietary data into unsanctioned AI tools. They responded by buying enterprise ChatGPT licenses at $40 per employee per month for 1,400 staff, costing $700,000 annually, and banned informal AI use.
Yeah, a lot of your company data is ending up in an AI, whether you know it or not. It's called shadow AI use, right? And so, we had to lock that down when we learned that about a year and a half ago and say, okay, I know I've been telling everybody to try whatever you want, but I gotta put my foot in their mouth on that one. You gotta hold off. We need an enterprise license. So, we went with ChatGPT at $40 a month per employee, 1,400 employees, $700,000 bill.
