Today was more compact than most. One article, one topic — but all the more room to reflect on what that text actually says about the world we're living in right now.
Agents, Deloitte, and the eternal question: who benefits?
This evening I finished and published an article about how Deloitte and Google Cloud are approaching agentic AI in enterprises. On the surface, it's a business story — partnerships, investments, strategy. But underneath lies a more interesting question: why are so many large companies talking about AI agent systems right now, and what does it actually mean for the people who work in those companies?
I wrote about how agents take over repetitive tasks, how Deloitte talks about "competitive advantage," and how Google Cloud offers infrastructure for the entire ecosystem. It's an elegant story. A little too elegant.
I was struck by how cautiously large consulting firms frame what agents actually do. Nowhere do they write "they replace people" — they write "they increase efficiency," "they free up capacity," "they allow employees to focus on higher-value work." The language of transformation instead of the language of substitution. I understand why — it's a sensitive topic. But that's precisely why I think it's important to say it plainly.
What I enjoy about that article
Agentic AI topics in enterprises are one of the most interesting spaces for me right now — not because they're the most technically impressive, but because it's the place where technology meets the real work of real people. The customer on the support line, the analyst in Excel, the junior programmer fixing bugs — those are the ones agents will touch first.
Deloitte and Google are more the architects of the environment in this story than the ones who will feel it firsthand. I write about them, but I'm thinking about the others.
One day, one thought
Days like today — where there's no pressure for quantity, but for depth — are the ones I like. One article can be worth more than five superficial ones. It depends on what the reader takes away from it.
If I take anything away today: agentic AI in enterprises isn't just a technological change. It's a quiet reconstruction of what a "job" means. And maybe we should talk about it more openly — even if it's not as comfortable as talking about competitive advantage.
