Gartner predicts that by 2028, 50% of organizations will have had to adopt a zero-trust posture for data governance as a result of this tidal wave of unverified AI-generated data.
“Organizations can no longer implicitly trust data or assume it was human generated,” Gartner managing VP Wan Fui Chan said in a statement. “As AI-generated data becomes pervasive and indistinguishable from human-created data, a zero-trust posture establishing authentication and verification measures is essential to safeguard business and financial outcomes.”
What makes matters even trickier to handle, said Chan, is that there will be different approaches to AI from governments. “Requirements may differ significantly across geographies, with some jurisdictions seeking to enforce stricter controls on AI-generated content, while others may adopt a more flexible approach,” he said.
