African Executives View Agentic AI as Coworkers, Not Tools, Reveals Study

A new study by MIT Sloan Management Review and Boston Consulting Group reveals that 82% of African executives see agentic AI as coworkers rather than tools, indicating a major transformation in how AI is perceived in the workplace. Executives believe AI agents can work autonomously, adapt, and assist in complex processes.

The report highlights the need for organizations to reimagine their processes to leverage AI effectively. Additionally, Vibhor Rastogi from Citi Ventures emphasizes the importance of training and supervising AI agents to ensure they function effectively.
