My main concern isn't whether AI agents can do these things, but whether most organizations and users are actually ready for them.
Many companies still struggle with data quality, process ownership, governance, permissions, and even basic collaboration practices. Adding autonomous AI agents on top of those challenges risks automating existing confusion rather than solving it.
I can clearly see the value of Copilot for drafting content, summarizing meetings, generating formulas, and assisting with day-to-day tasks. However, I believe we're still in the early-adopter phase when it comes to AI agents taking on more autonomous roles.
The technology is progressing rapidly, but organizational maturity and user readiness may not be keeping pace. For me, that's currently the bigger challenge.
