Designing digital resilience in the agentic AI era

As AI shifts from leveraging information provided by humans to making decisions on their behalf, tech leaders must weave an intelligent data fabric to unlock the full potential of agentic AI while shoring up enterprise-wide resilience. Digital resilience--the ability to prevent, withstand, and recover from digital disruptions--has long been a strategic priority for enterprises. With the rise of agentic AI, the urgency for robust resilience is greater than ever. Agentic AI represents a new generation of autonomous systems capable of proactive planning, reasoning, and executing tasks with minimal human intervention. As these systems shift from experimental pilots to core elements of business operations, they offer new opportunities but also introduce new challenges when it comes to ensuring digital resilience. That's because the autonomy, speed, and scale at which agentic AI operates can amplify the impact of even minor data inconsistencies, fragmentation, or security gaps.
