RT AI pilots don't stall because the AI failed. They stall because leaders deployed tools before defining business value. If your metric is 'adoption,' you've already lost the plot.

Risk 3: Spending limits push work to personal accounts. "AI spending limits have the potential to fuel shadow AI. When employees hit their limits, what's stopping them from moving work to personal accounts?"

Risk 2: Over-privileged AI agents on borrowed access. "The agent can turn a legitimate identity into a persistent path for privilege abuse, untraceable changes, and bad decisions at machine speed."

"An agent doesn't know how to do these things until you give it the context and a very heavy semantic layer around that context to understand the nuances of the business."

RT If 60% of employees use AI but only 14% say it's changed how work gets done, your pilot didn't fail. It never had a goal in the first place.

Risk 1: Confidential data pasted into public AI tools. "An employee, often innocently, inputs confidential data into a public AI tool."

"In order to justify the costs that you don't know, you need to know the value, which you don't know.? That's the AI budget paradox.

@JapanIntercult Tell that to many leaders. I finally made it to Japan earlier this year. Amazing time. Have to visit again.

Exhaustion is not a badge of honor in leadership

RT AI governance should not be a second priority - even for those still working to deliver AI business value. If you're deploying agents without it, you're building AI debt faster than you're building AI value.

"Treat shadow usage as a roadmap. Identify the highest-value use cases and move them onto governed tools grounded in company data, so governance becomes the path to scale rather than a brake."

"Most companies run on annual project budgets. The trouble is, a lot of the time with AI, you don't understand the value until after you've been experimenting for a bit."

"There's innocent use of shadow AI, derived from people who are curious to see what they can do with it. To some degree, that should be encouraged." Run the department of know, not the office of no.

RT "We don't buy a Ferrari to go to the grocery store. Right-size the infrastructure accordingly and plan for the slow and gradual growth that's necessary to truly support an investment in AI."

"Punishing people for using AI just pushes the behavior underground. Treat it as a signal: understand what employees need, then give them a sanctioned way to get it without putting company data at risk."

"AI is like the biggest shadow IT that's ever existed. People came out with iPhones; people loved iPhones. Pretty soon the companies had to let iPhones in."

[Isaac Sacolick @nyike]

RT Growing AI adoption - which is pretty much everyone's goal - has a required prerequisite: expanding data and AI literacy across the organization. Without it, governance is a conversation nobody understands.
