AI Autopilot: Enterprises Hit the Brakes Over Trust and Security Concerns
Enterprises aren’t keen on letting autonomous agents take the wheel, fearing AI hype is crashing against reality. Gartner found just 15% of IT leaders are considering fully autonomous agents. With worries about security and a lack of trust, companies like Klarna and Duolingo have switched back to humans after AI let them down.

Hot Take:
Looks like autonomous AI agents are getting the cold shoulder from enterprises, who prefer their tech with a side of human oversight. Turns out, the only thing scarier than robots taking over is the thought of them doing it badly.
Key Points:
- Only 15% of surveyed organizations are experimenting with or implementing fully autonomous AI agents.
- A whopping 74% of respondents see AI agents as a potential new security threat.
- Concerns about governance, maturity, and agent sprawl are major roadblocks.
- Major companies like Klarna and Duolingo have reverted back to human workers after AI hiccups.
- Most leaders don’t expect AI agents to replace applications or workers in the next 2-4 years.
