AI Agent Adoption Surges but Trust Lags, Boomi Study Reveals
Event summary
- 86% of enterprises have deployed AI agents, yet only 34% trust their actions.
- Organizations in 'agentic chaos' face $2.1M in added costs from compliance and operational issues.
- 55% of firms with 'agentic control' report high confidence in AI agent decisions vs. 22% in chaos.
- Integration platform as a service (iPaaS) adoption is 46% among leaders vs. 25% among laggards.
- 59% of integration-focused firms see productivity gains from AI agents.
The big picture
Boomi's study highlights a critical disconnect between rapid AI agent adoption and enterprise readiness, particularly around data activation and governance. The findings underscore how integration capabilities—like iPaaS—are emerging as the foundation for trustworthy AI operations. This trend reflects broader industry challenges in balancing innovation with operational discipline, where firms prioritizing foundational infrastructure are reaping measurable productivity gains.
