Agentic AI gap persists between executives, workers

When it comes to deploying AI agents, leaders find more success than their employees, who face tool overload and trust gaps.

Why it matters

Every week there is an announcement that promises to change everything, and every week most organisations are still fighting the same battle: messy data, processes nobody documented, and expectations running faster than capability. This story reads better with that in the background.

The first thing I look at is not model capability but the data feeding it. Almost every project I have seen fail did not fail on the algorithm. It failed because the data lived in three systems with three different definitions and nobody wanted to be the one to fix that.

What usually goes wrong

What I see fail most is the expectation. Somebody saw a flawless demo and asked for the same thing in their area within a month, without considering the demo ran on clean data prepared for the occasion. When the real pilot shows uneven results, the unfair conclusion is that the technology does not work.

What to watch

  • Which concrete process is touched and how it is measured before and after; with no baseline there is no result, only opinion.
  • Who reviews the model outputs and how often — the point at which AI becomes auditable.
  • Cost per query at real volume, not pilot volume: the variable that produces the most surprises.

How I read this entry

I would use it for a talent conversation rather than a purchasing one. The capability that needs installing is not operating a tool, which changes every six months, but framing the problem well and judging the answer. That one stays in the house.
