Send us a feedback [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520656/fan_mail/new] Most companies think they're doing agentic AI. In reality, they're building isolated agents that never make it into production. In this episode we breaks down what's actually happening in 2026, and why the real shift isn't about agents, but about systems. You'll learn: * Why most AI pilots fail to scale * The shift from single agents to orchestrated systems * Where agentic automation is already delivering real value * The biggest mistakes companies are making right now * What it takes to move from demos to operating model If you're serious about agentic AI, stop thinking in terms of tools.

Who Decides? Leadership, Trust, and Decision Authority in the Agentic Enterprise

In this episode, Nick Kabanov and co-host Mark Darbyshire sit down with Mihai Faur, CIO at UiPath, to explore how leadership, trust, and accountability shape real-world automation decisions. Rather than focusing on hype or tools, the conversation goes deep into: * How leaders assess risk and reversibility in AI-driven decisions * Why human-in-the-loop design is still essential in the enterprise * The trade-offs between speed, control, and accountability * Why leadership must be willing to publicly defend the decisions automation makes * How automation becomes a long-term strategic capability, not a short-term efficiency play This episode sets the foundation for the series, framing automation and agentic AI as leadership challenges first — and technology challenges second.
