Rapid7 Omdia Research Reveals AI Governance Gap as Executive Security Leaders Show 1.6x Greater Concern Than Practitioners
A joint Rapid7 and Omdia study found that executive security leaders are significantly more concerned about AI governance than the practitioners who work with these systems day to day, with executives showing roughly 1.6 times greater concern.
Why this matters: When the people setting policy are more worried than the people doing the work, that gap usually means one of two things: executives see risks that practitioners are too close to notice, or practitioners have normalized problems that should still bother them. Either way, AI governance does not work when concern lives at the top and compliance lives at the bottom. The people touching AI systems every day are the ones who actually shape how they behave. If they are not worried, the policy is probably not reaching them.
