Claim LD03-SL-C08 (v1.0)

In a case study of three German organizations, generative AI was used mainly as a personal assistant rather than changing team processes, the effort of validating its output partly offset efficiency gains, and policies written in response to regulation without regard to actual use led to gaps between policy and practice and to shadow IT.
