It would help if people stopped calling it "AI" and called it what it is which is enterprise document search, a thing that has existed forever and which these new tools are just poorly controllable version of.

Would you enable a search indexer on all your corporate data that doesn't have any way to control which documents are returned to which users? Probably not.

It's a known issue with SharePoint going back years and has various solutions[0] such as document level access controls or disabling indexing of content.

If we called it what it is though the C-levels probably wouldn't even care about it. They never cared about enterprise document search before and certainly didn't "pivot" to enterprise document search or report on the progress of enterprise document search implementation to the board.
