The AI in Business Podcast

A growing share of enterprise work now depends on systems that can support both human and AI agents, exposing bottlenecks in coordination, governance, and cross‑functional process design.


In this episode, Debanjan Saha, Chief Executive Officer at DataRobot, examines how enterprises can rebuild their operational architecture to support digital employees at scale in conversation with host Daniel Faggella, Emerj CEO and Head of Research.


He highlights the practical shifts required — from identity and access control to auditability, simulation, and cross‑system orchestration — that enable agents to take on back‑office and cross‑functional work reliably and safely.

Enterprise IT teams are drowning in alert volume as cloud, microservices, and CI/CD pipelines outpace what human operators can process. In this episode, Assaf Resnick, CEO and Founder at BigPanda, examines how agentic AI can shift IT operations from reactive troubleshooting to a prevention-first model built on an enterprise IT knowledge graph. The conversation covers how to build and own that knowledge graph, where human judgment still belongs in the incident response loop, and why an evolutionary rollout beats a full system overhaul.

As financial institutions move beyond AI experimentation, the primary bottleneck is no longer capability; it is governance. In this episode, Yoav Naveh, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at Reindeer AI, examines how enterprises can operationalize agentic AI inside regulated financial workflows, including the two-loop oversight model that keeps agents compliant, self-correcting, and continuously improving. The conversation covers what it means for agents to self-heal when they encounter exceptions, how decision logic should be governed in practice, and how to approach the build-versus-buy decision in a way that places accountability ahead of capability.


This episode is sponsored by Reindeer AI. In this episode, we cover how enterprises in banking and financial services are operationalizing agentic AI inside regulated workflows — and what governance infrastructure actually makes it sustainable at scale.

Enterprise AI adoption is moving faster than security and governance frameworks can follow,  forcing organizations to make difficult trade-offs between competitive urgency and operational risk. In this episode, Jason Loomis, CISO at Freshworks, examines why most enterprises have not yet resolved the tension between AI deployment speed and security maturity, and outlines a sequenced approach; beginning with regulatory compliance, advancing through data trust, and extending into AI-specific security frameworks. The conversation covers how leadership can build the investment case for AI, how culture shapes adoption outcomes, and why the biggest executive mistake is expecting returns before committing the resources that make them possible.

As enterprises move from single to multi-agent AI deployments, a coordination infrastructure problem is emerging that connectivity protocols alone cannot solve. In this episode, Guillaume de Saint Marc, VP of Engineering at Outshift, examines why agents that can communicate still fail to collaborate — and outlines the semantic alignment, shared memory, and authorization architecture required to address it. The discussion covers specific failure modes in production multi-agent systems, the organizational security and observability decisions that determine whether agentic deployments scale, and how open standards protect enterprises from vendor lock-in as the space evolves.

In this episode, we cover why enterprises scaling multi-agent AI need more than connected agents — they need shared semantic grounding, persistent memory, and fine-grained authorization to enable genuine collaboration.
