    KJ THE AI GUY โ€” AI PROTECTION

    AI Protection

    Use the Power of AI. Put Guardrails Around the Power.

    Artificial intelligence is transforming how businesses communicate, market, automate, serve customers, analyze information, and operate. But moving faster should never mean becoming careless. KJ The AI Guy teaches business owners and everyday people how to use AI while creating practical guardrails around their information, employees, customers, systems, and reputation.

    The Numbers Tell the Story

    AI Is Already Inside Business

    These are research findings from Stanford HAI and IBM โ€” not claims about every business. They show how quickly AI is moving, and why protection matters.

    AI is no longer something businesses can simply ignore. As adoption increases, businesses need both an AI strategy and an AI protection strategy.

    THE MORE AI ENTERS THE BUSINESS, THE MORE IMPORTANT THE GUARDRAILS BECOME.

    OF ORGANIZATIONS STUDIED LACKED AI GOVERNANCE POLICIES TO MANAGE AI OR PREVENT UNCONTROLLED SHADOW AI USE

    Think About That.

    Businesses are adopting AI faster than many are building policies around it. That gap is exactly why businesses need:

    ORGANIZATIONS WITH HIGH SHADOW AI USE EXPERIENCED ABOUT $670,000 MORE IN BREACH COSTS THAN THOSE WITH LITTLE OR NO SHADOW AI

    The Question Is Not Only:

    "Are We Using AI?"

    The Second Question Needs To Be:

    "Do We Know How AI Is Being Used Inside Our Business?"

    MALICIOUS BREACHES STUDIED WERE AI-ENABLED, AND 20%+ OF ORGANIZATIONS REPORTED A BREACH TARGETING AI MODELS OR APPLICATIONS

    AI Can Help Defend a Business.

    AI Can Also Be Used Against a Business.

    Therefore: Knowledge Matters.

    Training Matters.

    Guardrails Matter.

    What Exactly Is an AI Guardrail?

    An AI guardrail is a rule, control, process, or boundary designed to help determine:

    • Who can use AI
    • Which AI systems may be used
    • What information can be entered
    • What information cannot be entered
    • What AI may do automatically
    • What requires human approval
    • What needs to be verified
    • How customer information is handled
    • Who is responsible when something goes wrong

    Before You Type Something Into AI...

    Be extremely careful with:

    Customer personal information

    Payment information
    Employee records
    Medical information
    Confidential contracts

    NIST Authority

    NIST has developed an AI Risk Management Framework to help organizations manage risks associated with AI, and it has also published a Generative AI Profile addressing risks unique to generative systems.

    One important risk NIST discusses is that generative AI can produce information that appears confident but is incorrect.

    AI Can Sound Confident

    and Still Be Wrong.

    Therefore: Verify Before You Rely.

    AI Does Not Remove Human Responsibility

    AI may help someone move faster. But business owners remain responsible for what their businesses communicate, publish, automate, and do.
