AvePoint Research Reveals AI Visibility Gaps Have Nearly Tripled as AI Agents Scale and Almost Half of Enterprise Employees Now Rely on Agents Daily or Weekly

Key Findings:

JERSEY CITY. N.J., June 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AvePoint (Nasdaq: AVPT; SGX: AVP), the global leader in AI data protection, unifying data security, governance, and resilience, today released its third annual State of AI Report: Scaling Trust, Control, and Readiness in the Agentic Era. The report finds that AI has scaled into everyday work, and organizations have less visibility into what employees are using than they did a year ago. The percentage of organizations unable to determine whether employees are using unsanctioned AI tools has nearly tripled, from 6.3% in 2025 to 17.6% in 2026. For AI agents specifically, that blind spot is higher still, with 21.1% of organizations unable to account for unsanctioned agent activity.
