Artificial intelligence (AI) is racing into the mainstream, but organizations are struggling to keep pace with the governance and training needed to use it responsibly, according to a new report from Informatica Inc.
The CDO Insights 2026 study surveyed 600 global data leaders and reveals a striking disconnect. While AI adoption is exploding, the foundational systems required to support it are lagging dangerously behind.
Generative AI adoption has jumped to 69% of companies today from just 48% a year ago. Nearly half of organizations have already moved beyond basic GenAI to deploy agentic AI systems capable of autonomous decision-making.
