Atlantic Insights and Rubrik reported that surveyed executives across the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa face significant control gaps as autonomous AI agents expand.

Schellman and Avalara reported in the 2020s that organizations globally prioritized rapid AI agent deployment despite incomplete governance controls, audit processes, and internal expertise.

Schellman's 2026 report found that U.S. organizations are funding AI governance but lack mature operational controls as AI agents enter production and regulatory scrutiny increases.
