Research shows enterprise AI agent adoption is accelerating, but governance lags
What happened
Research conducted by IDC and Anurag Malik found that AI agent adoption is rapidly accelerating across organizations. The findings show that 66% of organizations currently use AI agents in production and expect the number of agents deployed to increase sixfold by early 2027. However, the research also points to a significant gap between adoption and enterprise readiness, noting that many organizations lack the necessary governance and coordination to manage these systems effectively at scale.

Why it matters
The research highlights that organizations are doubling their budget allocation for agentic AI over the next 12 months. This rapid scaling and increased investment in AI agents suggests a growing demand for the underlying computing power and infrastructure needed to support these enterprise systems.
