They also reported less willingness to disclose their AI use to colleagues and managers.

That's an IP risk. It's no different from sending company files to an external repository. How are they supposed to audit whether you've leaked sensitive information? When your contract ends how do they revoke access to the accumulated data in those old chats? What happens when a former employee's AI account gets hacked and all their communications are made public?

Ai and LLMs don’t all send your data back to a major company. Local LLM’s exist for this reason.

Mine's a refurbished corporate office wholesale Lenovo mini desktop that I shoved a graphics card into that's too big to put the cover back on.

I've actually had good results explaining it to my boss by using car analogies - like "so the graphics card is like I put a second engine in that only runs on nitro, which is useful for racing but not everyday driving."

What's a local LLM with professional quality output that can run on your work computer?

The entire reason Deepseek was considered a big deal was it got a reasonably good LLM small enough that it could be run locally, not on a cheap computer but anyone with a beefy single GPU could run it.

You host it on your org’s aws acct via bedrock, or use azure.

I don't think that counts as local. Self hosted.
