72% of enterprises deployed AI agents lack mature governance frameworks

According to CIO.com, 72% of enterprises have AI agents in production but only 21% have mature governance frameworks, creating a critical mismatch between deployment success and organizational readiness. Patrick McGarry reports that technical AI success is creating regulatory liability because enterprises fail to build the governance and accountability infrastructure required by regulators. The gap stems from workflow problems, not model performance, according to Pete Johnson's analysis in the same publication.
