TL;DR: Generative AI can fabricate convincing text, images and audio, which increases misinformation, copyright, privacy and phishing risk when organisations publish or operationalise unverified outputs, according to GlobalSign. The governance gap is not the model itself but the absence of human review, disclosure, and control over how synthetic content moves into business processes.
NHIMG editorial — based on content published by GlobalSign: AI-generated misinformation, privacy risk, and ethical AI use
Questions worth separating out
Q: How should organisations govern AI-generated content before it is published?
A: Organisations should treat AI-generated content like any other controlled business output.
Q: Why do hallucinations create a security risk for enterprises?
A: Hallucinations create risk because fluent but false output can be reused as if it were verified fact.
Q: How do security teams reduce privacy risk in AI-generated images and video?
A: Security teams should require consent checks, identity review, and provenance tracking whenever synthetic media could depict real people or contain personal data.
Practitioner guidance
- Introduce mandatory fact verification for AI outputs Require human review for claims, names, dates, and citations before any AI-generated text, image, or audio is published or sent externally.
- Bind AI content creation to consent and provenance controls For images, video, and voice, verify consent where identifiable people are involved and record source provenance for the asset lifecycle.
- Classify AI outputs before they enter business workflows Label synthetic content at creation, tie it to data classification, and prevent it from flowing into channels that handle confidential or regulated material unless it has passed review and redaction checks.

AI content governance is now an identity governance problem, not just a communications issue. The article correctly frames human oversight as essential, but the deeper point is that synthetic content inherits trust from the identity and approval model around it. If a workflow lets AI draft, summarise, or publish without clear ownership, the organisation has delegated authority without delegated accountability. That is a control design failure, not a tooling issue. Practitioners should treat AI publishing chains as governed identity workflows, not informal productivity aids.
A question worth separating out:
Q: Who is accountable when AI-generated content causes harm?
A: Accountability should sit with the business owner of the workflow, not the model itself. The organisation needs clear ownership for creation, review, publication, and correction, plus documented policy for handling errors, privacy issues, and misleading output. Without that, AI becomes a responsibility gap rather than a productivity tool.
