4 areas where companies need AI guardrails
MIT researchers spoke to 48 leaders at 28 organisations. They found that writing rules for every AI tool doesn't work. Better to put checks in four places. These are the tech set-up, how projects are picked, people's skills and outside suppliers.
Intrapreneurship angle: AI makes it cheap to build a demo, so many teams end up building the same thing. Ask early whether your idea belongs to one team or the whole company. Check the data, running costs and fit before you pitch it.

For industrial companies, winning with AI takes more than tech
Using US census data, BCG found that almost 70% of US industrial firms that use AI change nothing about how they work. In BCG's own AI projects, about 10% of the value comes from the algorithms and 20% from tech and data. The other 70% comes from people and the way work is organised.
Intrapreneurship angle: Most of the value sits in changing how work is done, not in the tool. So pitch your AI idea as a new way of working, with one person owning the whole process. That is where most of the value is.

Goldman Sachs bans non-engineers from using advanced AI tools
Goldman Sachs now lets only engineers and quant specialists use AI coding tools like Claude Code, Bloomberg reported. Traders who used them to build models and charts are frustrated. In July, the bank's tech chief had praised non-tech staff for building prototypes with AI.
Intrapreneurship angle: Freedom to try things can be taken away fast. Keep a record of what your AI experiments save or earn, and know your company's risk rules. Clear proof is the best way to keep your access when the rules tighten.
