The AI governance mirage: Why 72% of enterprises don’t have the control and security they think they do

A VentureBeat survey found 72% of enterprises use two or more major AI platforms, but many still lack the controls, accountability, and security guardrails to manage them.

As AI vendor and tool sprawl grows, companies are building custom control layers and workarounds to reduce overlap and confusion across platforms.

Organizations like Mass General Brigham are adapting their own governance approaches to protect PHI and coordinate across systems.

The faster enterprises scale AI across multiple vendors, the more hidden security, privacy, and operational risks can build up.
