The risk of AI in companies is concentrated in few users

Published on May 29, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

A recent report reveals that the danger of using artificial intelligence in companies is not a widespread problem, but is limited to a small group of advanced users. For most workers, there is no immediate threat. However, those few experts can expose sensitive data or make costly mistakes that affect everyone.

corporate office scene, one advanced user intensely working on a dual-monitor workstation, glowing AI dashboard interface with data streams and sensitive document icons on screen, small group of casual employees in background using basic chat apps, security alert icon floating near the advanced user, data leak visualized as glowing red lines from the expert's terminal toward a hidden server rack, cinematic technical illustration, photorealistic lighting, dark blue and neon orange color palette, dramatic shadows, ultra-detailed hardware and software elements, high-contrast industrial style, 4K render quality

How to identify and protect the critical AI user 🔒

The key is to monitor those who have access to advanced models and critical data. It is not about restricting technology, but about implementing specific controls: usage audits, granular permissions, and security training. These users often handle complex prompts and automations, which multiplies the risk if protocols are not followed. Companies should focus their resources on this small group to prevent leaks.

The rest of the team can keep asking silly questions 🤖

Meanwhile, 95% of the workforce can continue using AI to generate memes, summarize emails, or ask for gazpacho recipes without anyone worrying. The real danger is not the intern who asks absurd questions, but the IT genius who trains a model with customer data. So now you know: watch the smart one, not the clumsy one.
