LEWES, Del., June 17, 2025 — Pacific AI, a company focused on AI governance in healthcare and regulated sectors, has released the findings of its 2025 AI Governance Survey. Conducted by Gradient Flow between April and May, the survey explores how organizations are managing the risks, responsibilities, and infrastructure surrounding generative AI. The results will be presented in a webinar scheduled for June 18 at 2:00 PM ET.

While AI adoption continues to accelerate across industries, the report shows a significant gap between policy and practice. Among the findings:

• 75% of organizations report having AI usage policies in place, but only 59% have dedicated governance roles, and 54% maintain incident response playbooks specific to AI risks.

• Fewer than half (48%) actively monitor AI systems for accuracy, misuse, or model drift—figures that drop further among small companies.

• Speed-to-market remains the most cited barrier to effective governance, with 45% of all respondents—and 56% of technical leaders—highlighting this pressure as a key challenge.

Additional insights include:

• Deployment Gaps: Only 30% of organizations have deployed generative AI to production; 13% manage multiple systems. Larger enterprises are five times more likely to scale.

• Leadership Dynamics: Technical leaders show higher ambition, with 48% targeting 3–5 use cases compared to 25% among others.

• Governance Disparity: Smaller firms lag behind, with only 36% employing governance officers and 41% offering annual AI training.

• Regulatory Awareness: Familiarity with frameworks like the NIST AI RMF is limited outside large enterprises, raising compliance concerns.

• Response Preparedness: Incident response protocols for AI-specific risks, such as prompt injection or biased outputs, remain underdeveloped.

In response to these findings, Pacific AI continues to offer its free AI Policy Suite, recently updated to include an AI Incident Reporting Policy. Designed to align with more than 100 U.S. laws and industry standards, the suite aims to help organizations—particularly small firms—manage compliance and operational risks more effectively.

The full report and registration for the June 18 webinar, “The State of AI Governance,” are available at pacific.ai.
