95% of enterprise IT leaders plan to launch agentic AI projects — but 69% aren't ready. So, what's standing in the way? 
In this episode of Scaling AI in the Enterprise, we bring together an expert panel to tackle the real engineering and organizational challenges of AI deployments: the probabilistic nature of AI agents, the limits of traditional testing, and why "making your prompt stronger" is not a strategy.
