This highlights a significant gap in governance that could lead to substantial risks. There's widespread adoption of AI that, if unregulated, could result in unintended legal, ethical, or operational consequences.
The fact that only 18% of employees are aware of an official AI policy suggests that many are operating without clear guidance, increasing the likelihood of non-compliance with internal or external regulations.
This underscores the urgent need for compliance leaders to develop, communicate, and enforce robust AI usage policies to protect the organization from potential liabilities and ensure ethical AI practices.
