HBR: only 6% of companies fully trust AI agents to handle core business processes
  • A recent report indicates that only 6% of companies fully trust AI agents to manage core business processes, highlighting a significant gap in confidence among corporates regarding AI integration. Without effective change management, businesses risk facing a 'garbage in, garbage out' scenario, where poor data input leads to unreliable outcomes.
  • This lack of trust in AI agents poses challenges for organizations aiming to enhance efficiency and innovation through technology. Companies may struggle to leverage AI's potential fully, which could hinder their competitive edge in an increasingly digital marketplace.
  • The contrasting perspectives on AI deployment suggest a need for organizations to adopt a more structured approach, treating AI agents similarly to human workers by establishing clear roles and accountability. This shift could facilitate better integration of AI into business processes, ultimately improving trust and performance metrics.
