Agentic AI Is Coming to the Enterprise. But Can We Actually Trust It?

Petri Dish

LISTEN ON:

Everyone is talking about AI agents but very few organizations are actually running them in production. Teams are experimenting, launching pilots, and building demos… and then getting stuck.

In this episode of Petri Dish, I’m joined by Giovanni Carraro, SVP of Global Strategic Alliances at Kyndryl, to unpack why that gap exists and what it really takes to close it. We talk about what changes when AI systems move from analysis to autonomy, why traditional governance starts to break down, and how enterprises can make agentic AI secure, observable, and trustworthy at scale.

If you’re trying to move beyond AI experiments and into real-world operations, this conversation will help you make sense of what comes next.
