Inside AI Policy reports that a survey of U.S. office workers indicates that across industries approximately half of survey respondents said that they do or would use AI contrary to company policy to make their job easier, including 42% of security sector workers. The study published on August 20, 2025 by CalypsoAI, found that while 87% of respondents indicated that their employers had AI governance policies 52% are not prepared to follow restrictions, and 28% admitted to submitting sensitive or proprietary data or documents so AI could complete a task; 29% used AI to generate something sent without, or with minimal, review; and 25% used AI without knowing if the use case was permissible. The results for highly regulated industries are not better, and in some cases worse. For instance, 60% of employees in financial services and banking indicated that they use AI tools regardless of company policy and 36% “don’t feel guilty about it.”
