Half Of Tech Execs Are Ready To Let AI Take The Wheel
ComputerWorld, Monday, May 19th, 2025
Research shows AI is shifting from pilots to core operations, with agentic AI taking center stage for growth and strategy.
As AI shifts from experimental to essential, tech executives say that more than half of AI deployments will be functioning autonomously in their company in the next two years, according to a new survey by professional services firm Ernst & Young (EY).
While generative AI (genAI) technology has captured the attention of business leaders for the past several years, agentic AI, a specific kind of AI system that acts autonomously or semi-autonomously to achieve goals, has largely flown under the radar. That changed in late 2024 when search traffic for agentic AI and AI agents began to surge, according to Google Trends data.
