Agentic AI has become an organization-wide imperative, says Google Cloud CTO
The innovation race has entered a new phase with enterprise agentic AI spreading across every part of the business.
The potential of agents — once limited to technical teams — is quickly becoming accessible to employees across the enterprise, according to Will Grannis (pictured), vice president and chief technology officer of Google Cloud. Over the past year, enterprise conversations around AI have shifted from simply prototyping agents to deploying them at scale across entire organizations.
“This is no longer the domain of only the data scientists and the software engineers. Now, agents are spreading out to human resources, finance, all of these functions that make a business work,” Grannis said. “This year CEOs, boards, CTOs — the conversations I’m having are [about asking], ‘How do we make sure that we’re providing a platform that everyone can use agents to innovate?’”
Grannis spoke with theCUBE’s Dave Vellante at Google Cloud Next, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed the shift from AI experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment and how enterprise agentic AI is reshaping software development and business operations. (* Disclosure below.)
