Shadow AI isn't a future risk. It's happening today in your firm. Every time an attorney pastes a client document into ChatGPT, that data goes to OpenAI's servers. Same with Google Gemini. Same with Microsoft Copilot. There's no record, no paper trail, and no way to know it happened unless you can see it for yourself. Bar associations are starting to issue opinions on AI use in legal practice. Firms without a clear picture of what their people are doing will be caught flat-footed. The first step isn't blocking anything. It's seeing everything. ShadowAI gives you that picture in 24 hours, without disrupting anyone's work.
