In episode #13 of The Next Frontiers of AI, host Scott Hebner sits down with Ken Englund, Americas’ Technology Sector Growth Leader at EY, to unpack the results of the latest EY Technology Pulse Poll—a revealing snapshot of how tech leaders are embracing agentic AI.
More than two years into the GenAI era, technology companies are setting the pace of rapid Agentic AI adoption, with 48% already deploying agentic AI in some capacity and over half expecting the majority of their AI deployments to be autonomous within two years. Furthermore, 81% are optimistic about the potential of Agentic AI. But what’s driving this momentum? And are these early movers securing a real competitive edge, or simply moving faster into uncharted territory?
Ken and Scott explore what motivates tech executives to pursue agentic AI, how organizations manage their investments and risks, what this shift means for the future of tech jobs, and whether this innovation curve will soon extend beyond the tech sector into other industries.
From security concerns and workforce rebalancing to the evolving capabilities of autonomous AI agents, this episode provides a deep dive into the state of AI adoption and what comes next for companies determined to lead.
