Kai Waehner Publishes Enterprise Agentic AI Landscape 2026: Vendor-Neutral Trust vs. Lock-in Analysis Across Every Major Provider
Kai Waehner's independent analysis (April 6) maps every major AI vendor — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, AWS, Mistral, SAP, Salesforce and more — across two dimensions: trust (how reliable is the vendor's AI for autonomous decision-making?) and lock-in (how much switching cost do you accept?). Key insight: a model trustworthy for Q&A introduces very different risks when making autonomous decisions in multi-step enterprise workflows. The analysis flags IP protection variations (Google/Microsoft/IBM provide contractual protection; others don't) and recommends architectural separation between orchestration and model API layers.
