The AI Visibility Crisis: What CIO Research Reveals and Why EA Governance Is Essential
The AI Visibility Crisis: What CIO Research Reveals and Why EA Governance Is Essential

98% of CIOs report a lack of visibility into AI’s technical and business risk.
That single finding captures the reality that many enterprise IT leaders are facing: AI is spreading across teams, tools, and processes faster than most organizations can track, govern, or connect to measurable outcomes.
In our latest research, we surveyed 500 global enterprise CIOs to understand what’s really happening as AI scales and what leaders are doing to regain control without slowing innovation.
Join Orbus CEO Steve Fulton and SVP Tim Mitchell for an executive walkthrough of the research, including:
- Why shadow AI is proving so hard to contain (78% of CIOs say they struggle with it), and what changes when governance is designed to scale
- Why enterprise architects are increasingly central to AI governance and risk management (82% of CIOs rely on these teams) and what “architectural visibility” really means in practice
- Four stages for successful AI adoption: A practical sequence to improve visibility, manage risk, and align AI to business value
We’ll close with a live Q&A, giving you the chance to ask questions and discuss what the findings mean for your AI adoption roadmap.
