- Arsalan Tavakoli‑Shiraji will present at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 about why operational instability, not model performance, kills enterprise AI deals.
- TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 runs October 13‑15 at Moscone West in San Francisco and features a session titled “The Enterprise Isn’t Broken. Your Assumptions About It Are.”
- Databricks co‑founder emphasizes that AI pilots often fail to scale because enterprises lose confidence in implementation risk, governance complexity, workflow disruption, infrastructure strain, compliance exposure, and organizational trust.
Why it matters: Enterprises gain reliable AI rollouts while AI startups lose contracts if they ignore operational risk, governance, and compliance; the shift toward trust reshapes product roadmaps and affects the sizable enterprise AI budget.
