New ISACA Research: 81% Using AI At Work, But Only 28% Of Firms Have A Policy In Place
ITWire, Thursday, June 26th, 2025
89% of digital trust pros say increased AI skills and knowledge needed to retain job or advance their career over next two years; and nearly a third of organisations are increasing jobs for AI-related functions within 12 months.
Despite soaring use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace, most organisations remain critically unprepared to manage its risks, according to ISACA's annual AI Pulse Poll, which surveyed 3,029 digital trust professionals worldwide.
The 2025 poll reveals that 81% of respondents believe employees within their organisation use AI, whether it is permitted or not; yet, only 28% of organisations have a formal AI policy.
Concerningly, just 22% of organisations provide AI training to all staff, while 89% of tech professionals say they will need AI training within the next two years to advance their careers or even keep their current roles.
