AI adoption faces accuracy and execution gaps in corporate sectors

AI adoption corporate governance workplace productivity AI misinformation cybersecurity risks

Recent research highlights a significant gap between AI ambition and execution in the corporate world. A Workiva report reveals that one in four executives has included incorrect AI output in reports, and 84 percent of executives assume annual reports contain unverified AI input. This lack of accuracy is compounded by poor data quality, with only 11 percent of companies claiming to have sufficient data for AI use.

In the workplace, AI is driving a shift in expectations and security. While 73 percent of chief sustainability officers believe AI will drive climate progress, employees face growing anxiety; 83 percent of workers fear being fired for an AI-related mistake. Furthermore, 83 percent of executives state their job security depends on scaling AI, yet only 19 percent have a company-wide plan to do so.

Regional and sector-specific trends show varied adoption. Ireland leads Europe in AI adoption at 65 percent, though most use is limited to basic tasks. Conversely, the Netherlands ranks lowest in prioritizing AI-driven cyberattacks compared to its European neighbors. In the audit sector, while 93 percent of leaders use AI, 60 percent lack a formal strategy, leading to ad hoc usage rather than structured implementation.
