Talking To Company About Ai

Card image cap

Hi all,

I heard the accounting department was losing their shit yesterday because the owner took one of their reports, which contained substantial legwork and included confidential company information as well as virtually all client information (including financials) and plugged it into Claude.

Naturally, Claude gave him an actionable analysis document, but it struck me at my core that he was willing (and excited) to give all of this intimate data to an LLM.

It’s the future in some respect, and there are (some) safeguards. But I think that virtually everyone with at least serviceable knowledge of AI is made profoundly uncomfortable by this behavior, especially with the added caveat of international business…Americans have protections that do not extend to clients outside of the USA.

I’m realizing that I need to have a mature conversation about this. I’m no expert, but the bar is so low at my workplace that I’m the de facto expert in that arena. I really shouldn’t be, I don’t know *that* much. I’m just a digital native learning new tools.

Always open to tips and insights into this matter, but good god, the lack of digital literacy out there.
