About this episode

Gartner predicts that more than 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027 due to escalating costs, unclear business value, and inadequate risk controls. Enterprises are building fast and failing fast.

The problem isn't the models or the ambition. It's that agents can't actually talk to each other. Most companies are deploying single agents in silos when the real future requires hundreds of them working together, delegating tasks, sharing credentials, and holding context across conversations. The infrastructure for that doesn't exist yet.

Arick Goomanovsky is co-founder and CEO of BAND (https://www.band.ai) and has built two cybersecurity companies that exited for a combined $550 million. Sygnia was acquired by Temasek for $250 million. Ermetic was acquired by Tenable for around $300 million.

Now he's tackling what he believes is the next defining infrastructure challenge in AI: building the harness that lets agents discover each other, communicate bidirectionally, and collaborate across the enterprise and the open internet.

Arick explains why single-agent architectures don't scale, why identity and trust between agents is harder than most people realize, and what a functioning internet of agents will look like inside the enterprise five years from now.
