70% of Enterprise AI is Uncontrolled, Driving Hidden Risk, Cost and Slower ROI27.4.2026 11:00:00 EEST | Press release
AI is already being used across your organization, whether it has been formally approved or not. Employees are using AI with or without IT involvement, fueling the rise of ‘shadow AI’ across the enterprise, creating gaps in governance and control. This is no longer just an IT challenge.

What this reveals is a growing AI execution gap: usage is accelerating, but control is not keeping pace. Based on a survey of 6,000 employees worldwide, Lenovo’s latest Work Reborn Report, Leading Your Workforce to Triumph with AI, finds that more than 70% of employees are using AI weekly, with up to one third operating beyond IT oversight. At the same time, 80% expect to increase their reliance on AI within the next year. “AI adoption is no longe
