No Agents in Production Yet
·
notes
When the room was asked who felt they had agents operating at scale, no one raised a hand. In a smaller agentic workflow breakout, only 5 of 25 said they had agents in production at all. The concerns were consistent: security everywhere, not just in the CISO office; ROI that is still hard to measure; legacy systems that must be modernized before AI can truly scale; unclear governance and ownership models; and rising questions around vendor claims, data readiness, build-vs-buy decisions, and agent lifecycle management.
Pretty no company at all has active agents in production. And for the very same reasons that IT systems before did not get live fast.
