Behavioural telemetry from Redflags' 2026 report reveals that just 3% of UK employees generate 18% of all workplace AI activity, averaging 235 AI events each versus 35 for a typical colleague. AI site visits grew 43% year-on-year in 2025, with OpenAI dominating at 93% of visits. Key security concerns include shadow AI usage, file uploads to unapproved AI tools, and lack of corporate account governance. The report also shows that nudge-based behavioural interventions reduced dangerous phishing link clicks by an average of 35%, with some organisations achieving 83% reductions. The data argues for targeted monitoring of high-activity AI users rather than blanket controls.
