The AI Code Generation Governance Gap Is a Security Gap — Here’s How to Close It

By / Blog / , , ,

AI code generation governance is lagging, creating security and compliance risks. Only 23% of IT leaders manage AI governance effectively, risking a 30% rise in legal disputes by 2028. The increase in AI-generated code without proper oversight may introduce security vulnerabilities. To address this, governance must become continuous and integrated into the development workflow, allowing for instant checks on security and compliance. Embedding automated governance practices reduces risks, simplifies compliance, and enables productive use of AI tools, turning governance from a hindrance into a facilitator of innovation.

NEW Research: AIs Are Highly Inconsistent When Recommending Brands or Products; Marketers Should Take Care When Tracking AI Visibility

By / Blog / , ,

AIs are inconsistent in brand/product recommendations, raising concerns for marketers relying on AI tracking. Research by Rand Fishkin and a colleague shows AIs rarely provide the same list of recommendations, complicating visibility metrics. Despite running numerous prompts via popular AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI), the findings indicate answers vary widely, making “ranking position” tracking unreliable. Nevertheless, visibility percentages across multiple prompts can reflect brand presence in AI responses. Marketers should critically evaluate AI tracking tools, avoiding those without transparent methodologies.

How “95%” Escaped Into the World

By / Blog / ,

“95 percent” of organizations claim no measurable P&L impact from generative AI, a statistic gaining traction but lacking robust academic backing. This claim originates from an MIT report with significant methodological issues: it provides no confidence intervals, and its sample is potentially unrepresentative, mixing various types of data without consistent definitions. The broad applicability of “95 percent” is questionable, as evidence suggests success rates may be closer to 25%. Moreover, the research lacks the scholarly rigor of peer-reviewed work, leading to potential misinterpretations. Overall, this figure should be regarded as unreliable and oversimplified.
