We are in the “submit anything to do with AI to the CTO and Legal for intense scrutiny” phase. Then I noticed some copilot app just installed itself, I assume as part of the 11 update. I uninstalled it from my machine……..

Our IT department and leadership are more schizophrenic than usual around AI. Top leadership wants it bad, pushing big initiatives. Risk management layer, predictably, is more cautious - requiring analysis and approvals and so forth - this is driven into IT with things like redirects from open internet AI services to internally hosted alternatives (sensible), but the internal services aren't completely up-to-speed with tools like Cursor. So, I have approval for Cursor, and IT is helping me make it work around their filters, but then again - once in a while the Cursor software magically uninstalls itself overnight. Luckily, the work in progress is still there and when I re-install Cursor it picks up where it left off.

We clearly have conflicting interests at work behind our company computers.
