EDITOR BRIEF
Ryan speaks with Microsoft’s Jay Parikh about what enterprises need to build, deploy, and run AI agents at scale with clear return on investment. The excerpt says Microsoft created an end-to-end system for agent development that goes beyond the harness, and that reliability and correctness should be evaluated as models become more autonomous.
