Attention around enterprise AI is moving away from whether organizations will adopt the technology and toward whether they can execute on it, according to research from CompTIA, Inc. The shift is occurring as AI extends into core business operations.

Governance, cybersecurity and workforce readiness are described as factors that will determine whether AI initiatives deliver long-term business value. The CompTIA survey found that about six in 10 organizations are moving from experimentation and individual productivity use cases toward implementation across the enterprise. Cybersecurity concerns rank as the second-largest challenge to AI adoption, behind only finding the right balance between human employees and AI-powered tools and agents.

Among the companies surveyed, 98% cited the importance of risk management, 96% cited data protection and privacy, and 95% cited governance. Forty-eight percent of organizations said cybersecurity will be a key focus of their AI spending, the same share as planned investment in employee AI training.

CompTIA identified three priorities for the next phase of AI adoption. The first is aligning AI strategy with existing governance frameworks, with policies and decision-making processes built on current governance, compliance and risk-management practices. The second is developing resilient decision-making structures through cross-functional collaboration among IT, security, legal, compliance and business stakeholders. The third is investing in workforce readiness, addressing AI and cybersecurity skill gaps while strengthening foundational technology competencies.

Seth Robinson, vice president of research at CompTIA, said, “AI safety, governance and workforce development are becoming competitive advantages rather than compliance exercises. Organizations that approach AI with the same discipline they apply to cybersecurity and digital transformation will be better positioned to capture business value while managing emerging risks.” The research brief, Practical Implications of AI Safety, is available from CompTIA.
