Shadow AI & other AI governance topics move up list of business risks
The low-growth economic environment, driven by tariff-related trade tensions and other conditions, has moved into the top rank of emerging risks for the third quarter of 2025, according to a survey from Gartner.
The survey of 184 senior risk and assurance executives found mounting concern around AI, with AI-related information governance risks moving from fourth place in the second quarter to second place in the third quarter. Shadow AI — the use of unauthorized AI tools by employees — moved from fifth to third place as organizations face challenges in effectively monitoring its use.
Extreme weather frequency and severity ranked fourth, while deglobalization rounded out the top five emerging risks. The survey found that while 72% of enterprise risk management leaders say taking timely action on emerging risks is highly important, only 15% feel confident in determining what information to spotlight for stakeholders.
