What it claims

ProSight’s 2026 CRO Outlook Survey reports on how bank risk leaders view technology — particularly AI — as both opportunity and risk. Headline findings: 54% of banks have adopted AI in production, and 48% expect to have AI deployed in risk functions within the next two years; leading risk use cases include report generation, anti-financial-crime automation, quality assurance / quality control, and emerging-risk identification. On governance maturity, only 12% of respondents described their AI governance and approvals framework as “highly developed.” The most common reasons AI projects are held back are limited staff capabilities and training (30%), quality and availability of suitable data (27%), and immaturity of the risk-management framework (26%).

Notable quotes

“Only 12% of respondents described their AI governance and approvals framework as ‘highly developed.‘” — survey reporting (paraphrased from summary findings)

What’s speculative vs. asserted

• Asserted (survey findings): the percentage figures above (54% AI in production; 48% planning AI in risk within two years; 12% “highly developed” governance; 30% / 27% / 26% blockers).
• Speculative / interpretive: the read-across that these figures evidence a structural “governance maturity gap” rather than self-reporting caution — this is the wiki’s synthesis, not a survey claim. Self-reported survey data may understate or overstate true maturity.

Topics this feeds

• AI Governance Maturity Gap — back-fills the S-tag for the ProSight / CRO Outlook figures already cited there.

Open questions raised

• Whether the 12% “highly developed” figure reflects genuine maturity or conservative self-assessment.
• How the respondent base (size, geography) bounds the generalisability of the figures.

Ingestion note

Located via WebSearch (LinkedIn and several practitioner sources are not directly fetchable). The ProSight 2026 CRO Outlook report PDF is dated November 2025, so it is the most credible research-grade practitioner signal found this run rather than a strictly past-7-days source. The “~12% of CROs highly developed” and “54% AI in production / 48% within two years” figures were already cited on the AI Governance Maturity Gap topic without an S-tag (attributed loosely to “ProSight / Oliver Wyman 2026 CRO Outlook Survey”); this page back-fills that citation. Confirm exact wording and respondent count against the published report before client use.
