McKinsey-State-of-AI-Trust-2026.md

This McKinsey report presents findings from the 2026 AI Trust Maturity Survey, noting overall improvement in responsible-AI maturity but persistent gaps in strategy, governance, and agentic-AI controls; it highlights top risks (inaccuracy, cybersecurity, security concerns as barriers to agentic AI), a gap between risk awareness and active mitigation, and declining confidence in incident response. The report provides ten key insights and recommends six levers—centralizing compliance, digitalizing controls, simplifying governance, change management, resilient ethical system design, and continuous monitoring—to help organizations scale trusted, compliant, and resilient AI.
