Alation introduced a new AI governance offering.
The Story
Enterprise AI adoption is currently outpacing governance efforts.
Why It Matters
This title highlights a critical challenge I see across Europe: companies rush into AI without the necessary controls. Alation's move indicates that serious tools for AI governance are emerging, not just hype. For a pharma or legal firm, this means you must define how AI is used, who accesses what data, and how decisions are made. The EU AI Act countdown is real; you need an adult in the room for governed execution, especially with client data.
What To Do About It
First, audit your existing Microsoft 365 Copilot usage. Identify where AI is already in play and what data it touches. Then, establish an internal working group to draft your AI usage policy, focusing on data sovereignty and compliance ahead of August 2026.
