New Survey from Collibra by The Harris Poll Reveals Top Concerns for Tech Decision Makers
NEW YORK and BRUSSELS, April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Collibra, the leader in unified governance for data and AI, today announced the results of a new Harris Poll survey of more than 300 U.S. adults ages 21+ who are employed full-time as data management, privacy and/or AI decision makers at their current companies ("decision-makers" throughout), and found that 86% of respondents cite protecting data privacy as a top concern with 76% of respondents citing ROI on data privacy and AI initiatives across their organization. Notably, eight in 10 decision makers also said that data ownership has changed over the last year with the emergence of AI [85%].
"AI will continue to disrupt and reshape the future of work," said Collibra Stijn "Stan" Christiaens, co-founder and Chief Data Citizen at Collibra. "As organizations look to integrate AI more into the workplace, it is ever more critical to connect data owners with privacy and compliance teams to balance AI innovation with trust and ensure data privacy."
Despite concerns around data privacy and ROI, the survey indicates a strong overall momentum towards AI adoption, with 86% of organizations planning to proceed with their AI initiatives. However, this enthusiasm varies by company size. While nearly all large companies (96%) intend to forge ahead with their AI plans despite the evolving landscape, smaller (78%) and medium-sized (79%) organizations are exhibiting a more measured approach.
Our survey also found that nine in 10 employees at larger organizations (1,000+) say their company encourages the use of AI in the workplace and provides the necessary tools to support their work. . The same percentage also said that their company has issued an AI use policy or guidelines to their employees.
On a positive note, the new survey also found that nearly nine in 10 decision-makers say that they have a lot or a great deal of trust in their own companies' approach [88%] to shaping the future of AI , with three quarters [75%] agreeing that their company prioritizes AI training and upskilling, with decision-makers at large companies (1000+ employees) more likely than those at small companies (1-99 employees) to agree (87% vs. 55%).
"As Al continues to be adopted across Corporate America, organizations need to centralize visibility of AI models and agents across AI platforms and ensure traceability between AI use cases and the data that feeds them," stated Christiaens. "By adopting an approach to AI governance that connects models, data, and policies, organizations can protect critical data while ensuring confidentiality measures."

Why Weibo Stock Popped by Over 11% Today
Key Points The durable Chinese social media site topped expectations for its second quarter. It made sure to mention that artificial intelligence (AI) technology was helping to boost its performance. 10 stocks we like better than Weibo › One of China's largest and most important social media companies, Weibo (NASDAQ: WB), was a real hit with American investors on Thursday. The company's American Depositary Shares (ADSes) closed that trading session almost 11% higher in price, thanks to a very well-received quarterly earnings report. This made Weibo quite the outlier, as the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) essentially traded flat that day. Grateful for a double beat Reporting in U.S. dollars, Weibo said its second-quarter net revenue was just under $445 million, for a 2% year-over-year increase. Much of this derived from that classic social media revenue stream, advertising and marketing -- this also rose 2%, to slightly over $383 million. Value-added services went in the opposite direction, sinking by 2% to $61 million and change. In terms of operating metrics, Weibo's average daily active users figure was 261 million in June. The monthly active user (MAU) number was 588 million. Both were up, if not spectacularly, from the respective 256 million and 583 million in the same month of 2024. On the bottom line, non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) adjusted net income rose more compellingly. It totaled slightly over $143 million ($0.54 per ADS) for a 13% improvement over the year-ago quarter. Both headline figures were comfortably above the average analyst estimates, a major reason for the double-digit share price bounce on Thursday. Those pundits were collectively modeling less than $440 million on the top line, and $0.43 per ADS for adjusted net income. Artificial intelligence boosts real growth Investors also surely liked what they heard about Weibo's continuing dive into artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced offerings. The company quoted CEO Gaofei Wang as saying that "our user community of AI-powered intelligent search grew robustly, which further drove the increase of the overall search needs of users."
