The AI governance confidence gap: Why trust in AI is running ahead of the capacity to govern it

Axipro found 3,004 builder roles versus 446 governance roles, while fewer than 3 in 10 governance postings named the EU AI Act.

  • Axipro's 2026 study of 3,519 job postings across eight European countries reveals companies hire 7 AI builder roles for every 1 governance position, exposing a critical oversight gap as AI deployment accelerates.

  • Before the Act's full high-risk regime applies on December 2, 2027, companies must treat the next 18 months as a systems-building window rather than a recruiting cycle to earn their AI confidence.
