A new survey found that 75% of enterprises report agentic AI adoption is accelerating, yet the gap between flashy demonstrations and real-world production use persists. The disconnect threatens to undermine the technology's promised returns as companies struggle to translate hype into operational reality.", "body_md": "**SPONSORED LINKS**\n\n### MOST POPULAR\n\n## EVENTS\n\n-\n### Overcoming the trade-offs in data sovereignty\n\nWhat does data sovereignty actually mean for your network, which trade-offs are unavoidable?
