Artificial intelligence is being deployed faster than most organisations can establish clear ownership, governance, and control over how it operates. Yet, for all the attention on models and use cases, one question often remains underexamined. Who controls the intelligence that enterprises are building their future on?

As intelligence becomes embedded into core workflows, the consequences of losing control become far more serious.
