Agentic AI Adoption: Are Organizations Truly Ready?

A new report reveals that while many organizations are using agentic AI, most are not fully prepared for it. Forty-one percent of organizations are already using agentic AI in production. However, only 15% believe their data foundation is ready to support it. What's interesting is that nearly 60% of organizations report multimillion-dollar commitments toward agentic AI initiatives. The report highlights that the biggest obstacles to scaling agentic AI are no longer just about model performance. Data quality and lineage issues are cited by 42% as common blockers. Regulatory compliance and sovereignty concerns, along with security and privacy risks, are each mentioned by 39%. The bottom line is that scaling autonomous AI requires scaling reliable infrastructure first. This matters because robust data environments are crucial for AI systems to operate autonomously and effectively.
