AI agents are not replacing people. They're becoming part of the workforce. At Databricks Data + AI Summit, I spoke to my very good friend, Robin Sutara, Americas AI Capability Leader at Databricks, for a conversation on what it really takes to build an AI-enabled organization. One insight that stood out: AI agents should be treated like interns. They need context. They need clear tasks. They need feedback. Without those three things, even the best AI systems struggle to deliver value. We also discussed: -- How leading organizations are building a builder culture around AI -- Moving beyond simple automation to drive real operational productivity -- Why companies need to rethink workflows instead of automating broken processes -- The balance between governance, security, and innovation -- How tools like Genie and Databricks Assistant are making data and AI accessible to everyone, not just Python developers -- What it takes to scale AI adoption across the enterprise The companies seeing the biggest results are not just deploying AI. They are redesigning how work gets done. The full interview is now live. #Databricks #DataAISummit #AI #GenerativeAI #AgenticAI #DataAndAI #EnterpriseAI #TheRavitShow
