    IBM's newly launched Power Autonomous Operations can monitor systems and fix issues before outages hit IBM i.

    IBM announced Power Autonomous Operations, an AI agent that monitors Power systems and resolves issues on its own. The company paired it with the IBM Bob Premium Package for i, which is meant to speed application development on IBM i. For those tracking agentic AI, this signals enterprise vendors are moving agents from copilots into operations work. The bigger story is that IBM is selling automation not as a helper, but as a way to keep systems running without human intervention.

    Why is IBM saying controlling AI agents is becoming its own business before enterprise adoption even starts?

    IBM Software India general manager Sriram Raghavan says companies are only beginning to deploy autonomous AI agents, and control will matter most. He spoke in Bengaluru about why scaling AI still runs into data and management problems. For those tracking AI agents, this signals that orchestration and oversight may become a standalone market, not just a feature. The interview also argues enterprise adoption has not really kicked off yet, which makes the control layer the next fight.
