Companies adopting agentic AI risk choosing easier-to-approve tools over more capable ones

Companies adopting agentic AI risk choosing tools that are easier to get through cybersecurity and procurement approvals over those that can perform the required tasks better, making ease of approval a potential priority over actual capability, according to a report by the Actuaries Institute.The report noted that the deeper commercial risk is not vendor lock-in, although that remains a concern as integrations and organisational dependence increase over time."It is the risk that procurement decisions prioritise ease of approval over capability: choosing the agent that clears CISO (cybersecurity team) and procurement review most smoothly over the one that does the agentic work best."
