Most business leaders are aware that AI adoption in their organizations has moved faster than the governance around it. When we surveyed 250 finance decision makers in mid-market organizations, we found that 83% of teams were already using AI, yet only 53% had a formal framework for its safe use.
If finance - a function with some of the highest standards for data accuracy and compliance - is operating with that kind of governance gap, it is reasonable to ask whether other departments across the business look any different.
