Shadow AI is already in your organization — but can you see it?

In this special Tech Waka episode, we share a live recording from a recent Tech Waka Leadership Collective meetup featuring Ben Mosier, a strategy teaming consultant who helps leaders align around complex challenges.

Ben takes us deep into the world of Shadow AI — the unsanctioned, often invisible use of generative AI tools like ChatGPT inside organizations. You’ll also hear directly from meetup participants as they weigh in on:

• Why copy-paste AI use is not human judgment

• Where Shadow AI poses real risk to your brand, systems, and customers

• The legal and ethical gray areas many teams are sleepwalking into

• How to map your organization’s value chain to identify where human oversight matters most

• The surprising pressure to automate — and why resisting it is leadership

This is not your typical panel or interview. It’s a real-time, thoughtful community conversation — and part of our ongoing effort to make Tech Waka more dynamic, relevant, and grounded in real-world challenges NZ tech leaders face.

🎧 Listen in — and ask yourself: Where is AI making decisions in your org without anyone noticing?
