AI is here, enabling tangible and real-world use cases. Boards are talking about it. Teams are experimenting & deploying it. Roadmaps are being rewritten around it. But there’s a hard truth most organizations are not always paying attention to: If your foundation isn’t secure, AI will amplify your risk, not just your capability. Much of…
Every enterprise AI initiative contains an architectural decision that rarely makes it into the business case or the steering committee deck. It doesn’t have a line item. It often gets made by a developer on a Tuesday afternoon based on whatever the default configuration was. And it determines, more than almost anything else, whether your…
In practice, that means setting the rules for identity, model access, permissions, logging and human approval before AI tools or agents are allowed to operate inside business workflows. The practical starting point is to identify where AI is already touching repositories, tickets, internal knowledge and business systems, then establish a minimum common control set across…

Download the May 2026 issue of the Enterprise Spotlight from the editors…
I have learned to treat small language models (SLMs) as less of a model category and more of a portfolio strategy. They are the pragmatic answer to a question leaders end up asking sooner or later: How do we scale GenAI across real workflows without turning inference cost, latency, data ownership and boundaries into a…
