Is Your Data Strategy Ready for the Agentic AI Era?

The New Stack Podcast

Enterprise AI is still in its infancy, with less than 1% of enterprise data currently used to fuel AI, according to Raj Verma, CEO of SingleStore. While consumer AI is slightly more advanced, most organizations are only beginning to understand the scale of infrastructure needed for true AI adoption. Verma predicts AI will evolve in three phases: first, the easy tasks will be automated; next, complex tasks will become easier; and finally, the seemingly impossible will become achievable—likely within three years.

However, to reach that point, enterprises must align their data strategies with their AI ambitions. Many have rushed into AI fearing obsolescence, but without preparing their data infrastructure, they're at risk of failure. Current legacy systems are not designed for the massive concurrency demands of agentic AI, potentially leading to underperformance. Verma emphasizes the need to move beyond siloed or "swim lane" databases toward unified, high-performance data platforms tailored for the scale and complexity of the AI era.
