Most small businesses have already started using AI. Almost none of them have governed it.
No governance in place
Staff are already using AI tools day to day. Most businesses have no policy, no vendor checks, and nothing written down covering any of it.
Tools nobody checked first
AI tools get adopted fast because they solve a problem today. Few businesses stop to check what happens to their data or whether the tool fits how they actually work.
Clients and insurers are starting to ask
Enterprise clients and insurers are adding AI governance questions to contracts and renewals. Most small businesses cannot answer them yet.
