IBM: 80% of large firms in Europe and the Middle East took AI incidents to the board, but only 40% changed their policies
An IBM study conducted by Censuswide, with 3,221 senior executives at companies with 1,000 or more employees in eight countries in Europe and the Middle East, found that 80% acknowledge an AI-related incident reached their board or executive committee in the past year, and only 40% changed their policies or governance frameworks in response. 56% keep moving forward within agreed risk limits and 33% postpone deployment until controls are consolidated.
In 45 seconds
- 80% of executives reported AI incidents escalated to the board or executive committee; only 40% modified policies or governance frameworks.
