DingTalk Founder Warns of Ecosystem Risks from Uncontrolled AI Tools

Deep News03-17 17:41

On the morning of March 17, DingTalk founder and CEO Chen Hang unveiled "Wukong," an AI-native work platform, during the 2026 AI DingTalk 2.0 new product launch event.

Chen highlighted four major security risks associated with employees raising "lobsters"—referring to unauthorized AI tools—within corporate environments: weak permissions, unauthorized execution, data leakage, and malicious functionalities. He cited an example where an individual shared an IP address, real name, and comprehensive company details in a group chat of 3,000 people. Regarding data exposure risks, he noted that over 390,000 claw site assets are openly accessible, leaving personal and corporate data fully visible.

"If these 'lobsters' are fully unleashed, they will undoubtedly harm the entire ecosystem," Chen stated. "They will catch shrimp with one claw and fish with the other, digging holes everywhere. Once installed on personal or company computers, they open backdoors, allowing various trojans and viruses to infiltrate. Our goal is to provide businesses with a secure and manageable work environment where AI activities are traceable."
