I don't think people truly understand how early we're in enterprise adoption of AI agents.

McKinsey just released their 2025 AI report. 

Some nuggets:

1️⃣ 90% of companies “use AI,” but 67% are still stuck in pilot mode. Corporate AI theater is alive and well.

2️⃣ 62% of orgs are experimenting with AI agents, 23% are scaling AI agents. Most are in tech and healthcare.

3️⃣ The impact gap is massive. 64% say AI helps innovation, but only 39% see real EBIT gains. 

4️⃣ The high performers (top 6%) think bigger. They rebuild workflows, set growth goals, and invest real budgets not just PoCs.

5️⃣ Leaders who own AI personally are 3x more likely to scale it. Makes sense.

6️⃣ The winners use AI to transform how work gets done, not just speed it up.

7️⃣ The average company measures efficiency. The best ones measure how fast their agents can act.

8️⃣ Risk management is catching up with 51% have already seen AI backfire, mostly from inaccuracy.

9️⃣ The workforce impact is foggy. 32% expect cuts, 13% expect growth, everyone else is guessing.

Agentic AI looks magical in demos, but scaling it across teams and systems (especially in enterprise settings) is where it still breaks. You can do basic single-step automation reliably right now (tool calling).

As Andrej Karpathy recently noted on LLM agents:

"My critique of the industry is more in overshooting the tooling w.r.t. present capability."

Bottom line: we're still super early, this transformation will go on for another decade.

I'm bullish, but this will take a bit longer than we think, having fully autonomous agents. Just like autonomous driving took a bit longer than we thought, but here we are.

E.g. one of the biggest challenges in building AI agents today is agents' long-term memory.

Chief AI Scientist

Data Science Central

The company was acquired in 2020.  I am still a contributing author.

Executive Data Scientist, Co-Founder, Managing Partner

Microsoft

Developed a strategy to collect the right data and detect minuscule change points in time series associated with KPI's (when the changes occur, their amplitudes and directions). Goal: assessing the impact of events influencing core metrics. Example: changing the definition of a website user resulting in shift in user count, or changing some features on Bing.com resulting in increase / decrease in pageviews. These were blind tests: I did not know when the website changes were made. But when I detected a change, it was matched against known events that took place at the time flagged by my algorithm as "change point". I designed and then helped automate this algorithm.

Processing LLMs/RAG Prompts 100x Faster with Optimized JSON https://lnkd.in/gX3AWmGi

JSON is great to handle input sources (Enterprise corpuses) used in LLMs and RAG. While well structured, it can be slow. You probably heard about TOON as an alternative, or my nested hashes that work much faster with JSON-like input optimized for speed, without vector database. In my case the architecture is Python-native, ideal for sparse tables such as token correlation tables, and similar to a light version of Berkeley DB. Yet cost-efficient without deep nesting that slows down processing. 

In this live session, you will see real use cases based on similar technology in production environment. This is not about my xLLM technology, but instead a different framework also adopted by companies small and large..

➡️ Presentation Overview

Modern applications rely heavily on semi-structured JSON data, but querying large JSON arrays can quickly become a performance bottleneck. In this session, Spandana will walk through how SingleStore’s new multi-value hash indexes make it possible to query JSON arrays with lightning-fast lookups. She’ll cover how this indexing innovation works under the hood, show real-world performance benchmarks, and demonstrate how developers can apply it to speed up analytical and operational workloads without restructuring data.

➡️ What You’ll Learn:

• How multi-value hash indexes improve query performance on JSON data
• Best practices for indexing nested and array fields
• A live demo of real-world JSON queries running 100x faster

Recording will be available to participants who are unable to attend the live event.

Wolfram has been doing that for over 20 years. Last time I manually computed an integral manually was over 15 years ago. Same with differential equations and bunch of mechanical, mundane math computations no matter how advanced.

Do you know how long did it take to me to solve this integral I just wrote in a piece of paper?

2 secs by using this prompt: re-generate the image including the solution of the integral step by step.

I know, you must believed actually I solved the problem by myself but I didn’t… AI did it for me.

Then of course I asked for the detailed explanation with the logic on how to solve it. The goal is not to have the solution but to understand how to do it.

We (humans) usually have very short memory but this would have been crazy only 2 years ago…So for the ones who believe this is just another trend, trust me, this is not.

Imagine how a kid in the middle of Africa, without resources, can learn now mathematics. And take this to every single aspect of our lives.

Love it!!!!
