Coming Soon - New Kantara Initiative Groups!
by Amanda Gay 04 Sep '25

04 Sep '25

[image: Logo, company name Description automatically generated] Kantara Initiative is excited to announce that new Groups are coming soon. See below for details, landing pages, and sign-up forms! - Shadow AI in the Workplace Discussion Group (Shadow AI DG): The rapid adoption of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and other AI-powered applications has led to a growing phenomenon known as “Shadow AI”, the unsanctioned use of AI tools by employees without the knowledge or approval of their organization. While these tools can significantly enhance productivity, creativity, and efficiency, they also introduce serious risks. Shadow AI will explore the causes, implications, and mitigation strategies related to Shadow AI in enterprise environments. The anticipated output is a report that outlines the risks, organizational vulnerabilities, and practical countermeasures. - More information and a draft charter are available here <https://kantarainitiative.org/work-groups/coming-soon-shadow-ai-in-the-work…> . - To sign up, please complete this submission form <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/9S33QQQ>. - Trusted Transaction Assurance Work Group (TTA WG): The digital identity landscape is at a pivotal moment. The release of NIST SP 800-63 v4 provides a modern, modular framework for identity proofing, and Kantara's US Assurance Program is poised to develop the corresponding assessment criteria. While these developments are foundational, they leave critical market-level and downstream challenges unaddressed. This working group will address these challenges directly, creating the market-enabling frameworks necessary to unlock the full potential of a componentized, high-assurance identity ecosystem. - More information and a draft charter are available here <https://kantarainitiative.org/coming-soon-trusted-transaction-assurance-wor…> . - To sign up or submit a charter comment, please complete this submission form <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FMTBWQM>. WG Chairs, please share these details in your calls and forward to your mailing lists, and encourage interested parties to sign up! Please reach out with any questions or thoughts!
