AI is moving faster than ever, but enterprise leaders are discovering a tough reality: deploying autonomous agents is not just about choosing the right model. It is about building the right control systems.
In this retrospective episode of Agents of Dev, practice leads Mitch Ashley and Brad Shimmin reflect on a busy conference season covering Snowflake, Databricks, and AWS.
They look beyond the keynote announcements to explore why companies are moving away from complex ETL pipelines and letting data stay where it already lives.
They also discuss the rapid rise of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), how open source AI frameworks are becoming commercial products, and why Zero Trust security must evolve for AI agents that make unpredictable decisions.
From managing AI costs with FinOps to deciding where enterprise data belongs, this episode offers practical insights for building secure, reliable, and people-focused AI environments.
