The pressure comes at an uncomfortable moment, with trust in AI agents falling among employees and shadow AI usage quietly rising inside organizations. Leaders are being asked to bet their careers on a technology their own workforces are skeptical of.
And on the question of whether AI will simply swallow the software industry whole, a growing number of analysts are pushing back on that idea. The argument is straightforward: replacing complex, deeply integrated software systems takes more than a capable model. It takes trust, compliance, and institutional momentum that no language model can shortcut.
