CGTN Spanish: Xi Jinping: China and the U.S. can find the right way for our two major countries to get along on this planet we both call home

Published

By

BEIJING, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On the morning of September 24, local time, U.S. President Donald Trump held a grand ceremony at the White House to warmly welcome Chinese President Xi Jinping on his state visit.

President Xi noted that China and the U.S., as two major countries, stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation. There is no need to shy away from competition, but it must be healthy and kept within bounds. It should be a race in which both sides strive to catch up with each other, rather than a contest with only a winner and a loser. China and the U.S. must uphold boundaries to avoid conflict and confrontation. By doing so, they will undoubtedly be able to find the right way for these two major countries to get along on this planet they both call home.

Organizations are placing greater emphasis on documenting how AI applications are assessed, approved, monitored, and controlled, creating demand for technologies that can generate traceable evidence of governance activities. AI governance programs increasingly require records of risk assessments, policy decisions, control implementation, approvals, and monitoring outcomes rather than relying solely on written policies. This is creating demand for platforms that automate evidence collection, maintain audit trails, and provide centralized documentation across AI applications and governance processes. Recent industry research also indicates that organizations are moving toward more operationalized AI governance, increasing the need to connect governance activities with demonstrable controls and evidence.

Based on solution type, the AI data protection & security segment is expected to hold the largest market during the forecast period.

The AI data protection & security controls segment is supported by the need to secure sensitive enterprise information accessed and processed through AI applications. Organizations are deploying capabilities to identify sensitive data, monitor AI-related data flows, control information access, prevent unauthorized disclosure, and enforce data handling policies. Integration of AI applications with corporate databases, documents, SaaS platforms, and other enterprise repositories is increasing the need for stronger controls that protect confidential information while enabling legitimate AI use. Integration with existing data security and enterprise security infrastructure is also supporting adoption of these capabilities.

Request for Proposal: https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/requestsampleNew.asp?id=40880961

By organization size, the SMEs segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

The SMEs segment is supported by the growing availability of cloud-based and modular AI governance technologies that require limited infrastructure and internal resources. Smaller organizations are adopting AI across functions such as customer service, marketing, software development, finance, and operations, creating requirements for practical controls around AI usage. Solutions that automate AI risk assessment, policy management, usage monitoring, compliance documentation, and security enforcement are helping organizations address these requirements with smaller technology and governance teams. Subscription-based platforms and integrated solutions are further lowering implementation complexity and enabling SMEs to expand governance capabilities as their use of AI increases.

By region, North America is estimated to account for the largest market share during the forecast period.

North America is expected to account for the largest share of the Shadow AI Risk & Governance Market, supported by its established cybersecurity ecosystem, concentration of AI technology providers, and continued development of practical frameworks for managing AI-related risks. In the US, NIST is expanding its AI risk-management work through updates to the AI Risk Management Framework, AI standards initiatives, and security-focused guidance covering generative AI and AI agent systems. NIST is also developing a Trustworthy AI in Critical Infrastructure Profile to provide sector-specific risk-management practices for organizations deploying AI-enabled capabilities. In Canada, government initiatives are advancing responsible AI through the national AI strategy, AI transparency measures, privacy modernization, and guidance for the responsible use of generative and agentic AI. These developments, alongside the presence of established cybersecurity and AI governance providers, are supporting demand for AI discovery, data protection, policy management, risk assessment, and access controls across enterprises in the region.
