IBM, Wednesday, June 17th, 2026
An IBM study finds enterprises face limited control and rising dependencies that leave them exposed in the AI era.
A new IBM study found that limited control and rising dependencies are leaving enterprises exposed as AI adoption scales. Among the findings, 68% of surveyed executives say meeting data residency and sovereignty requirements across geographies is challenging.
The research highlights growing concerns around governance, control gaps, and reliance on external systems as organizations deploy AI more broadly. IBM frames these challenges as critical risks enterprises must address to safely scale AI in production.
