The Pilot Trap: Why Enterprise AI Stalls and How to Break Through | RAISE Summit 2026

Industry leaders are transitioning AI from low-value experimental pilots to production-ready agents that drive significant P&L impact through process re-engineering and high-level decision automation. Success hinges on overcoming trust barriers by implementing robust infrastructure for real-time observability, identity management, and deterministic governance that allows for immediate intervention. While adoption faces regulatory friction and requires rigorous change management to integrate with human workflows, the net result is predicted to be job creation driven by expanded AI consumption and specialized physical domain applications.
