SiliconANGLE reports from Appian World 2026 that enterprise deployments of agentic AI require process-level guardrails, governance, and human review to be useful in regulated environments. According to the coverage, Appian Corp.’s platform incorporates human review and approval so that AI agents cannot build or execute autonomously, a safeguard emphasised by Appian co-founder and CEO Matt Calkins during an interview on theCUBE. Calkins said, “Agents are an incredibly powerful tool, but they have to be used correctly… Agents actually need process more than any other form of AI.” Reporting by SiliconANGLE also highlights a process-centric architectural approach that embeds agents into existing workflows to preserve auditability and scale AI across the enterprise.
