AI agents are fundamentally different from traditional software. According to Ushur, treating AI agents like standard software—something to buy, configure, and “set and forget”—can create challenges, especially in regulated industries such as healthcare, financial services, and insurance.

This slows activation, drains operational capacity and exposes firms to unnecessary compliance risk.
