The AI context gap: Enterprise AI organizations have a trust problem, not a retrieval problem — and most are still building the fix
A survey of 101 enterprises reveals that AI agents often produce confidently wrong answers due to missing or inconsistent business context. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is the primary method for feeding context, with provider-native retrieval tools leading over dedicated vector databases. While a governed semantic layer is being developed to fix these issues, most enterprises have not yet fully implemented it, creating a significant trust gap in AI outputs.
