Many AI agents lack clear ownership, survey shows
Organizational leaders are nearly twice as likely to hide their AI use compared to all other employees, at 42% versus 23%, according to new Ivanti research surveying 3,900 employees across six countries. Among leaders who conceal that usage, 52% say they do it for a "secret advantage." The same research found 85% of IT professionals claim a named owner exists for every AI agent. Only 42% say ownership is actually clear — a 43-point gap that no governance framework was designe
A survey reveals that while 85% of IT teams claim every AI agent has an owner, only 42% are certain about who that owner is. Organizational leaders are more likely to hide their AI usage than regular employees, with 42% concealing it compared to 23%. Some leaders do this to gain a competitive edge. CISOs warn that unmanaged AI poses significant risks, especially with data potentially being used to train models without oversight. Many companies struggle to track the growing number of AI applications, with some reporting over 12,000 in use. The complexity of AI makes it difficult to govern, as it is often embedded in everyday tools. Security experts emphasize that the issue is not just about counting AI agents but understanding their intent and impact. Despite existing policies, only a small percentage of employees follow them consistently. The challenge lies in redefining how AI is categorized and managed within organizations.
The lack of clear ownership and governance over AI agents poses significant risks to data security and organizational control.
