Content investment for AI – building the foundation for operational value
Jinfo Report
9th June 2026
Abstract
Organisations are moving rapidly on AI adoption, while governance and licensing of content remain less mature.
For information managers, this creates a growing need for stronger governance, clearer value discussions, and more strategic positioning around trusted information.
This report provides insights from Jinfo’s research into how organisations are approaching AI, trusted information, governance, and content investment.
It explores the growing gap between organisational enthusiasm for AI and operational readiness, particularly around governance, licensing, and trusted external information.
This report also highlights the increasing strategic role of information managers in supporting governance, operational AI readiness, and trusted information workflows.
