Box CEO Aaron Levie: CIO Advice on Agentic AI and the Enterprise
CXOTalk, Friday, June 12th, 2026
Box CEO Aaron Levie gives CIOs practical guidance on deploying agentic AI that works in production, not just demos.
In this CXOTalk episode, Box co-founder and CEO Aaron Levie discusses how enterprises can move agentic AI from impressive demos into reliable production use.
Levie defines agents as AI systems that execute tasks, follow instructions, and automate workflows rather than simply retrieving information.
He cautions that agents often stall in production, break existing permission models, and generate costs that IT never planned for.
Drawing on Box's work with large enterprise customers, he advises building flexible architectures, enforcing strong data security and access controls before deployment, and keeping human accountability and oversight in the loop.
