## Resource

In this May 2026 AI news roundup, we move beyond the headlines and look at the bigger shift happening across the AI world: agents are becoming real, enterprises are learning how to manage them, and trust is becoming the gatekeeper for scale. This episode explores how AI is moving from simple chatbots to governed, enterprise-ready agents that can work across business processes. AI agents are entering real workflows: from voice agents and coding assistants to tax, legal, customer service, and advisory use cases. Enterprises now need an agent control plane: with governance, identity, permissions, audit trails, and lifecycle management. Trust is becoming the adoption gate: as safety, observability, evals, and accountability become critical for scaling AI responsibly. The big question for this episode: Are we still talking about better AI models, or are we now entering the era of managed AI workers? You can reach @ Sesh @ Lukas @ Manjeet @ Raghu
