The agentic artificial intelligence era is forcing a reset in enterprise architecture.
Agents that take action go well beyond analyzing data sitting in lakehouses. When agents operate on behalf of humans – continuously, at machine scale – they introduce requirements that most enterprises are not engineered for. The so-called “modern data stack” is starting to look like a new form of legacy. Stitched-together systems, fragmented governance, batch pipelines, and perimeter-era security assumptions don’t hold up when the unit of work shifts from a dashboard query to an autonomous decision loop. At agent scale, fragmentation becomes an operational and compliance risk.
This is where we believe Google LLC has an underappreciated advantage. Our research indicates the architectures that will win in the agentic era are the ones that behave like an end-to-end system – where the model, the cognitive engine and the infrastructure are tightly integrated, operate within a…
