Most US companies lack mature AI governance frameworks
A new report finds that most US companies have not developed mature governance frameworks for artificial intelligence, leaving significant gaps in how AI systems are overseen, audited, and controlled across industries.
Why this matters: Most companies are already using AI in products, hiring, customer service, and internal decisions. Governance is what determines whether anyone is actually watching. Without it, there is no clear owner when the system discriminates, fails, or leaks data. Customers and employees bear the consequences. The companies bear very little. Maturity gaps are not a technical problem. They are an accountability problem, and right now the answer at most firms is nobody is in charge.
