Almost half of US companies skip their AI governance policies to speed up deployment - EY study
An EY study found that nearly half of US companies bypass their own AI governance policies when they want to move faster on deployment. The finding points to a gap between the rules organizations write for themselves and the rules they actually follow.
Why this matters: Companies are not waiting for regulators to drop the ball on AI oversight. They are doing it themselves. Having a governance policy that you skip whenever it slows things down is not a governance policy. It is a document. The people most exposed are not the executives rushing the launch. They are the customers, employees, and third parties whose data and decisions end up inside systems that nobody properly reviewed. Speed is not a defense when something goes wrong.
