This September, the business world has been put on notice. As highlighted by recent industry analysis, two trends are converging into a massive governance challenge: the explosion of GenAI adoption within the enterprise—with reports showing up to 78% of employees bringing their own AI tools—and the immediate emergence of hyper-specific data regulation, such as the legislative push to protect consumers’ Neural Data.

The message for every organization is clear: Ungoverned AI is your next critical compliance and risk failure point. You cannot afford to scale AI until you can fully trust, track, and audit the data powering it. Businesses are already paying a steep price, with poor data quality costing organizations an average of nearly $13 million annually and non-compliance fines soaring globally.
