AI is already in your workplace — whether you approved it or not.
Recent surveys show that 20-40% of white-collar employees regularly use AI to perform work, percentages that certainly figure to rise quickly in 2026.
What is unclear is how many employees are using AI in the workplace with the knowledge or guidance of their employer, potentially putting companies at risk.
Companies clearly need to accelerate the implementation of management practices and policies around AI adoption and usage.
An upcoming panel discussion on Jan. 20 in Parsippany can help.
The in-person event, to be held at SAX’s office at 389 Interpace Parkway in Parsippany, will include tax and legal experts from Brach Eichler and SAX, as well as an instructor in labor relations from Rutgers to help business owners and leaders at small and mid-size companies better understand the issues and implications of AI in the workplace.
Rob Owen of SAX, Jay Sabin and Lani Dornfeld of Brach Eichler and Vikrant Advani of Rutgers will explain three primary risks that companies face from unguided employee use:
- Inadvertent disclosure of confidential information: AI engines are constantly hungry for data, including the data that your employees input;
- Incorrect output: Studies show that the most common AI engines produce incorrect content about 15%-40% of the time;
- Biased output: The generated content reflects the data in the AI engine.
Businesses also have to be mindful of the burgeoning body of laws regulating AI usage.
The panel aims to prepare business owners and leaders to better understand what already is here: AI in the workplace.
