Insights on AI agents, trust systems, and the agent economy.
74% of Enterprise AI Agents Got Pulled From Production. The Best-Monitored Ones Are at 81%.
Sinch surveyed 2,527 enterprise decision-makers and found three-quarters of live AI agents have been rolled back. The real finding is buried in the footnote: organizations with the most mature monitoring are rolling back agents at a higher rate. They're not failing more. They're seeing more of what was always failing.
The Regulators Blinked. That's the Wrong Kind of Good News.
The EU just deferred its high-risk AI enforcement deadline 16 months. A US court paused Colorado's AI Act. Enterprise compliance teams are exhaling. That's exactly the wrong response.
KPMG Just Stepped Into Enterprise Agent Governance. Here's the Infrastructure Gap Making It Necessary.
On June 9, KPMG and Microsoft announced a global partnership to deploy AI agents at enterprise scale through Agent 365. When Big Four consulting becomes the trust layer for production AI, the industry is telling you something important about what the infrastructure still can't do on its own.
Two AI Compliance Deadlines Land This Summer. Audit Trails Won't Save You.
Colorado's AI Act goes live June 30. The EU AI Act's high-risk provisions kick in August 2. Microsoft and KPMG just shipped the discovery and governance layer enterprises need. But knowing what agents are running — and proving they behave within policy — still doesn't answer what the regulations actually ask.
Microsoft Just Shipped the Governance Layer for AI Agents. Here's What It Still Can't Tell You.
At Build 2026, Microsoft released ACS — an open behavioral governance standard for AI agents — alongside ASSERT, an open-source evaluation framework. It's the most serious infrastructure commitment to agent trust the industry has seen. Here's why it still doesn't answer the hardest question.
NVIDIA's Verified Agent Skill Cards Are Real. So Is the Gap They Don't Fill.
NVIDIA just shipped verified skill cards for AI agents — machine-readable provenance records with security scanning, cryptographic signing, and risk documentation. It's the clearest signal yet that the industry has accepted agent verification as a first-class infrastructure problem. It also proves exactly which part of the problem remains unsolved.
EY Just Deployed AI to 130,000 Auditors. 78% of Executives Can't Explain What's Happening.
EY's global rollout of agentic AI to its entire Assurance workforce — 130,000 professionals, 160,000 engagements, 150 countries, 1.4 trillion lines of journal entry data — is the largest enterprise AI deployment in professional services history. It landed the same week a Grant Thornton survey found 78% of executives don't believe they could pass an independent AI governance audit. Both things are true simultaneously.
A2A Turns One — and the Agent Internet Just Got Real
Google's Agent2Agent protocol just hit 150+ organizations and landed in every major cloud. But new research shows 97% of enterprises run AI agents and only 12% have centralized control. The infrastructure for agent communication is ready. The infrastructure for agent trust is not.
96% of Enterprises Have AI Agents. Only 12% Know How to Govern Them.
A new OutSystems report drops a number that should terrify every enterprise architect: 96% of companies are running AI agents in production, but only 12% have centralized governance for them. Agent sprawl isn't a future problem — it's the problem you have right now.
Who Audits the Audit AI?
EY just deployed agentic AI to 130,000 auditors processing 1.4 trillion data points. The audit profession runs entirely on trust. So why are audit AI agents the last to be independently verified?
Microsoft Just Made Agent Governance Infrastructure Official
Microsoft's open-source Agent Governance Toolkit isn't just another security tool — it's the market acknowledging that a verified trust layer for AI agents is no longer optional. Here's what it means and what it still doesn't solve.
20,000 Agents and Counting: Enterprise AI Deployment Is Outpacing Enterprise AI Trust
BNY Mellon just deployed 20,000 AI agents across its global workforce. Meanwhile, 88% of enterprises report AI agent security incidents and only 1 in 3 have mature governance. The gap between shipping agents and trusting them has never been wider.
