The rapid growth of AI in the workplace is outpacing the level of control and oversight companies have over its use, as shown by a survey from Grant Thornton. Many organizations are adopting AI quickly, but few are confident in their ability to meet audit standards for AI governance, which could lead to problems in the future.
