The introduction of artificial intelligence in companies is progressing faster than many would have expected. According to the latest figures from the AI Index, around 44% of US companies are already using fee-based AI solutions - an increase of over 700% since January 2023.
The technology sector, finance and the manufacturing industry are particularly far ahead. However, the pressure to integrate productive AI systems in order to remain competitive is also growing in other sectors.
AI is thus becoming the infrastructure of modern corporate management. It makes decisions, creates content, processes data - and does so with increasing autonomy. What many organizations lack, however, is an appropriate structure for managing, controlling and securing these systems.

Despite the rapid increase in the use of AI, the World Economic Forum's analysis reveals a sobering reality: around 81 percent of the companies surveyed are still at an early stage when it comes to the responsible use of AI.
There is a lack of roles, processes, technical guidelines and overarching directives. At the same time, the regulatory situation is becoming more complex. While Europe has created a comprehensive framework with the AI Act, new regulations are also emerging in other jurisdictions.
But there is a lack of coordination. Different regional laws, competing standards and unclear responsibilities mean that companies often act reactively rather than strategically.
This fragmentation is not only a risk for compliance, but also for reputation, efficiency and scalability.

Technological maturity is developing faster than the governance structures that should accompany it. Anyone using AI productively today must not only operate functioning applications, but also assume clear responsibility - both internally and externally.
It is not about over-regulation, but about professional management. The ability to document systems transparently, assess risks, evaluate impacts and train employees is becoming a decisive competitive advantage.
Global companies in particular are under pressure to act. The markets' expectations are clear: AI systems should not only be efficient, but also controllable, traceable and secure.
