2026-05-26 · MIT Tech Review AI · Original

As enterprise-level AI agents gain traction, a significant gap is emerging between aspirations and practical implementation.

The main challenges cited include insufficient readiness among personnel, processes, and workflows. This growing disconnect highlights the need for businesses to rethink their organizational design to effectively harness the potential of AI and ensure a smoother transition into an agent-driven future.
