How much AI tool freedom can you give employees?

Depends on your risk appetite:

If you're in health care, PHI changes the rules.

No BAA -> No app.

Otherwise you invite expensive penalties.

In lower-risk cases, you can push decisions outward.

But only with clear guardrails.

A proven setup looks like:

-> Approved app list

-> Simple data tiers (confidential, public)

-> Clear owners for approvals and risk acceptance

This keeps speed.

And it keeps control.
