AI agents work in demos but stall in production, break existing permission models, and run up costs that CIOs never planned for in traditional IT budgets. Agentic AI in the enterprise has become a direct test for Chief Information Officers.

Aaron Levie, co-founder and CEO of Box, works with many Fortune 500 companies on exactly these problems and has become a clear voice on what it takes to integrate AI agents into real business workflows. In CXOTalk episode 921, the conversation examines what agents mean for enterprise software, security, and the CIO.

What we will discuss:

Why AI agents stall in production, and how to spot the ones that are ready
Why your data and permissions matter more than the model you choose
How agents change enterprise security, and who is liable when one goes wrong
What CIOs should do first, and what to avoid
How to control AI costs as agent usage scales
