Agentic AI Needs Integrated Systems, Not Just Productivity Gains
Agentic AI has not yet crossed the chasm, but it is beginning to test where a crossing might actually hold. In a thoughtful piece for diginomica , Stuart Lauchlan explores where agentic AI sits on the adoption curve, what is slowing progress, and why narrative discipline matters. A few ideas kept coming up: -Chasm crossings require a whole product built around a re-engineered process -Productivity gains alone do not move technologies across the adoption divide -The presence of trapped value is what makes transformation possible. -Agentic AI depends on close integration with systems of record. https://lnkd.in/gkGyhJ8y #AgenticAI #CrossingTheChasm #EnterpriseAI #AI #DigitalTransformation
