A recent case in Victoria has brought to light a critical issue—a child protection caseworker used #ChatGPT to draft a sensitive child protection report. This incident raises serious concerns about the misuse of generative AI in highly sensitive environments. The implications? Unregulated use of AI could lead to #data leaks, #breaches of confidentiality, and #legal consequences. Untrained employees might unknowingly put vulnerable information at risk. At Aona AI, we specialise in preventing exactly this type of risk. Our solution ensures: - Real-time AI observability and tracking - Pre-trained guardrails to enforce usage policies - Blocking & redacting sensitive information shared with AI tools Don’t let your organisation be the next headline. Stay ahead of AI risks and protect your data with Aona AI. https://lnkd.in/g4SF6W7q 👉 Book a demo with me and ensure safe AI use in your organisation! https://lnkd.in/ge2vNN4a #GenerativeAI #DataSecurity #AIrisks #Cybersecurity #DataProtection #AIguardrails Bastien Cabirou Aona AI Maxime Cousseau Abbas Kudrati
