We can't track AI use within our company
AI use is spreading department by department and person by person, and we can't manage which services are used or what information is entered.
We're unsure how to explain this to business partners
Clients and partners are asking us to explain our AI use and management practices.
Usage rules and accountability aren't in place
Internal rules and who's responsible for risk response haven't been decided.
Other certification schemes feel like too high a bar
Other certifications feel difficult in terms of timeline and internal workload.
Being unable to explain your AI usage and management structurecan put your company's trust and business opportunitiesat risk.

of organizations that put AI to work.
