- IBM: Enterprise AI to shift from ‘light bulb’ to ‘electric motor’ era
We are set to see artificial intelligence (AI) shift from experimental and piecemeal use cases to factory automation levels of productivity . That’s equivalent to the 19th century transition when electricity became available to factories – first it lit them and made working hours longer and safer, then it powered assembly lines and machinery to bring a step change in production. That’s the view of IBM CEO Arvind Krishna , who spoke to the press from this week’s IBM Think event in Boston, where he predicted a 40% increase in enterprise productivity by 2030, using AI. At the event, IBM majored on announcements around an agent-based operating environment that it said would enable organisations to develop and run swarms of autonomous agents, but bounded by policy-driven guardrails. It also made announcements around quantum computing and the general availability of its Sovereign Core offering. Core to the product offer around agentic AI from IBM are: Watsonx Orchestrate: A centralised contr
- IBM unveils its blueprint to help enterprises run AI at the core of their business

It’s about how they do their intelligence, how they do automation, how they create AI for their operations, and ultimately trusted AI.” Each of the four components of the model, although integrated, is a separate priority, IBM said in its announcement. “Together, they represent a fundamental shift from improving parts of the business to changing how the business operates.” Product announcements to further the
