AI Adoption Surges While Governance Lags — Report Warns of Growing Shadow Identity Risk

By / Blog / ,

AI adoption in organizations is widespread but governance is lacking, with only 13% of firms monitoring AI data handling. A report highlights that two-thirds of respondents noticed AI tools over-accessing sensitive data, and many have insufficient real-time controls. Autonomous AI agents are particularly vulnerable, with limited oversight. Just 7% of organizations have a dedicated AI governance team, indicating significant gaps in regulatory readiness. The report advocates for a shift to data-centric oversight of AI to secure sensitive information effectively.

A 2026 Regulatory Survival Guide for the Channel

By / Blog / ,

2026 brings key regulatory deadlines affecting the AIDC sector in food, pharma, and manufacturing. FSMA 204’s food traceability deadline is likely delayed, but large companies still require traceability systems. The EU’s Digital Product Passport launches for batteries, with future expansions planned, while DPP and DSCSA both require advanced data capture and 2D scanning. The EU Deforestation Regulation’s deadline is now December 2026, demanding GPS data capture for supply sourcing. The Cyber Resilience Act’s reporting requirements start in September 2026, requiring rapid vulnerability disclosures. Providers need to audit software for necessary data fields, refresh clients’ scanning hardware, and focus on delivering audit-ready solutions.

The Digital Omnibus: Deregulation Dressed as Innovation

By / Blog / , , ,

EU's Digital Omnibus loosens data and AI safeguards for workers under the guise of fostering innovation, benefiting mainly US tech giants. It consolidates data laws but lacks serious impact assessments, weakening protections and oversight for workers in AI-dominated workplaces. Changes to GDPR and AI regulations allow employers greater control over personal data, limiting workers' rights to transparency and resistance against automated decisions, while reducing oversight and AI literacy obligations. Overall, the document argues that the Omnibus prioritizes competitiveness over worker protections, shifting risks onto vulnerable users.

‘Pure Regulatory Chaos’: Move to Help Europe Win Artificial Intelligence Race Misfires

By / Blog / , ,

The European Commission has delayed final AI Act rules meant to regulate high-risk AI systems, following pressure from industry. This delay creates significant uncertainty, as required legislative changes may not be completed before the current August 2026 deadline. If lawmakers miss this deadline, confusing legal gaps could arise. The pause could last up to 16 months, but may end sooner, leaving businesses unsure about planning and compliance. Companies and experts describe the situation as chaotic, with some pausing compliance work while others press on. The result is widespread criticism that this uncertainty undermines legal stability and Europe’s tech competitiveness.
