Companies Push AI Use But Skip Training and Official Policy
A Huntress survey of 500 U.S. workers finds most lack AI security training and fail to recognize prompt injection.
Huntress surveyed more than 500 U.S. knowledge workers, excluding cybersecurity professionals, about workplace AI use. Fifty-three percent have a company-managed AI tool and 47% are encouraged or required to use one, but 43% received no formal AI training and only 24% reported a clearly communicated written policy. Only 26% recognized that a public chatbot could be abused through prompt injection, and workers with a written policy did so only 31% of the time. Twenty-five percent said they would copy a client contract into a personal AI account.
