Rather than embracing AI wholesale, employers are making granular choices about which tools employees can access—acknowledging that unrestricted ChatGPT or Claude can expose proprietary data, create compliance risks, or reduce focus.

The constraint isn't adoption itself, but the operational overhead of governance—which favors enterprise vendors selling pre-built compliance features over open models.
