LayerX Report: Corporate AI Risks Concentrated in a Small Group of 'AI Power Users'

Colleagues, a note for cybersecurity teams: LayerX's research shows a large share of corporate AI risk originates from a small group of 'AI power users'.

Key points:
• The top 5% of users generate most interactions and engage more deeply with AI, often across multiple platforms and personal accounts.
• ChatGPT leads in activity, Copilot is growing, and many services are accessed via unmanaged accounts.
• Browser extensions and connectors expand the attack surface and frequently require elevated permissions.

Why it matters: without visibility into personal accounts and the long tail of apps, organizations lose control over sensitive data exfiltration.

How do you govern power users and Shadow AI in your organization?
