AI Adoption Isn’t Spreading—It’s Splitting
AI adoption is not unfolding evenly. It’s becoming polarized, creating a widening gap between high-adoption organizations and everyone else.
- A small but growing set of organizations is moving aggressively, embedding AI directly into core workflows
- Innovation is advancing faster than visibility, control, and consistent AI governance
- Risk is becoming material, unevenly distributed, and concentrated among the most aggressive adopters
Enterprise AI Usage Is Outpacing AI Governance
AI usage is no longer confined to a handful of sanctioned tools. It spans a fragmented ecosystem of platforms, accounts, and deployment models, all unique to the manufacturing industry.
- AI usage is spreading across GenAI SaaS apps, endpoint AI applications, and AI agents
- Employees increasingly use AI across multiple tools and accounts, including personal and unmanaged environments
- Security teams face reduced oversight as AI activity moves beyond traditional IT visibility
