Workplace AI Risk and Readiness Report

Employees are using AI to write, summarise and decide. Productivity rises, but so do blind spots: unmanaged tools, opaque model behaviour and decisions shaped by outputs no one has verified. This report gives leaders a detailed view of what is really happening inside AI-enabled workplaces and where risks emerge long before audits or incidents surface.

In this report, you’ll learn a practical overview of:

• How AI use in the workplace increases productivity while introducing new risks.
• The key exposure points leaders must watch out for.
• Straightforward governance principles that keep AI use stable and accountable.
• The behaviours behind unsafe AI use and how to correct them quickly.
• How SoSafe helps build the AI literacy needed for safer workplace adoption.

With 78% of employees bringing their own AI tools and only 39% receiving any AI literacy support, the gap between how AI is used and how it is understood is widening quickly.

Organisations that recognise this early can turn AI into a capability rather than a source of exposure, creating cultures where speed and safety strengthen each other instead of competing.

This report shows how SoSafe helps leaders build the literacy and practices needed to keep AI use safe, accountable and aligned with organisational goals.
