Human-agent trust is becoming a key focus as companies worldwide prepare for the age of AI agents. This weekly update shows how organizations are building trust with their AI helpers.

A new study shows that 68% of companies plan to use AI agents by 2026. Most companies want semi-autonomous agents that work with human oversight instead of fully independent ones. This shows that businesses want to keep humans involved in important decisions.

Experts say that human-in-the-loop approaches are essential for safety. This means humans must check and approve what AI agents do, especially in dangerous situations. Companies are learning that AI agents work best when they partner with humans rather than replace them.

The biggest challenge is figuring out how to give AI agents the right permissions and access. Unlike human employees, AI agents can work much faster and do multiple tasks at once. This creates new security risks that companies must solve.

Trust is built slowly through controlled pilots and limited deployments. Companies start with small projects where AI agents have restricted abilities. As trust grows, they give agents more independence. This step-by-step approach helps everyone feel comfortable with AI helpers.
