📄 中文摘要
人工智能工具已成为大多数组织日常工作的组成部分，员工利用这些工具进行文档摘要、代码生成、报告分析和研究加速。然而，许多工具是在未经过官方IT审批流程的情况下被非正式采用的。这种非正式使用现象被称为影子AI，指员工使用外部AI平台、浏览器扩展或在组织官方治理框架之外运行的AI应用程序。问题并不在于这些工具的存在，而在于缺乏可见性。当员工将内部文档粘贴到AI聊天机器人中、上传客户信息进行分析或使用外部模型生成代码时，组织往往对这些行为知之甚少。

📄 English Summary
How to Detect Shadow AI: Practical Methods to Discover Unapproved AI Tools
Artificial intelligence tools have become integral to daily operations in most organizations, with employees using them for tasks such as summarizing documents, generating code, analyzing reports, and accelerating research. Many of these tools are adopted informally, bypassing official IT approval processes. This informal usage has led to a phenomenon known as shadow AI, where employees utilize external AI platforms, browser extensions, or AI-powered applications that operate outside the organization's official governance framework. The main challenge is not the existence of these tools, but rather the lack of visibility. Organizations often remain unaware when employees paste internal documents into AI chatbots, upload customer information for analysis, or generate code using external models.
