What happened

Adobe reports that 62% of organisations plan to have an agenic or concurrently interaction with customers in the next 18 months, while only 39% claim to have a shared dataset prepared for an agenic AI at scale.

What changes

The bottle necks move from the AI model to an identity, permission, quality and availability of data.

Why it matters

An agent with incomplete data can automate wrong decisions far faster than a person.

Implications for businesses

Before giving an agent autonomy, a company should define what's the client's master's tab, what systems they can write about and what data are reliable.

One Rhino’s take

The intelligence of an agent does not fix an architecture that's tipsy. First, a shared version of reality is required.
