Some businesses feel like they’re constantly dealing with IT problems. A system slows down or something stops working. People report it, wait for it to be fixed and then carry on until the next issue appears. Others rarely seem to have those disruptions.

A new generation of AI-powered browsers promises huge productivity gains. Fewer clicks. Faster answers. Tasks handled for you in the background. Sounds wonderful, right?

But here’s the uncomfortable question most businesses aren’t asking yet: What else is happening behind the scenes?

Because they send what’s on your screen to a cloud-based AI system, they can unintentionally expose sensitive information such as emails, financial data or client details.

Researchers have warned that many AI browsers prioritise convenience over security, meaning they can be tricked by malicious websites or take actions without the user realising.

This doesn’t make AI browsers bad, but it does mean businesses need to approach them carefully.

Before adopting them, understand where the data goes, update your security policies and make sure staff know that anything open in their browser could potentially be sent to the AI service.

With good training, clear guidance, and the right security settings, AI browsers can be used safely. Just don’t roll them out without thinking through the risks first.
