AI is accelerating faster than expected. At the IET Management Symposium 2026, KBQuest CEO Eric Moy introduced the concept of AI Velocity, detailing the three stages of surprises enterprises face in autonomous AI, cybersecurity, and governance. He urged organizations to adopt proactive frameworks like AgentOps to manage AI responsibly and securely.


What is AI Velocity and why does it matter?


AI Velocity refers to the rapid acceleration of AI capabilities beyond initial expectations. For enterprises, this creates both opportunities and surprises — ranging from universal software generation to agent-driven automation. According to KBQuest CEO Eric Moy, AI Velocity is not just about speed; it’s about the compounding effect on business models, corporate opportunities, and operational governance.



What were the three stages of surprises discussed?


In his keynote, Eric Moy outlined a three-stage framework:


  • Stage 1: Creation Explosion — from copilots to universal AI coders.

  • Stage 2: Governance stress test — where compliance, risk, and cybersecurity become mission-critical.

  • Stage 3: Emergence of autonomous workflows — driven by Agentic AI systems operating at enterprise scale.



How can enterprises manage this transformation securely?


Eric emphasized the urgency of AgentOps — a governance and operational framework designed for evaluating, optimizing and managing AI agents safely. Enterprises must enforce visibility, auditing, and ethical constraints before autonomous systems integrate deeply into business processes.
