79% of company execs say employees work around their AI governance policies

The survey of 548 executives found 80% say employees work around AI rules, even as 91% say their companies have governance policies.

  • A recent Zapier survey of 548 U.S. directors, VPs, and C-suite executives found that 52% report employees actively bypass AI governance processes to deploy workflows faster.
  • Ownership of AI governance remains inconsistent, with 41% of executives reporting responsibility varies by department, while 28% admit formal policies are not consistently enforced across teams.
  • When workflows fail, accountability often disappears; 51% of executives blame the operating team, 46% blame the builder, making "who owns this?" technically everyone and practically nobody.
  • Governance failures carry operational costs; 47% of executives report increased manual workload or operational expenses, while 26% say AI workflow issues have affected revenue.
  • Building guardrails directly into AI tools allows organizations to balance speed with compliance, ensuring governance rules are enforced automatically rather than relying on policy documents alone.
