Rubrik Develops ‘Undo' Button For AI Agent Mistakes
'As companies consider investing in AI, they often don't take into account the mistakes that AI agents can and will make,' said Johnny Yu, Research Manager at IDC. 'Agentic AI introduces the concept of 'non-human error,' and as with its human counterpart, organisations should explore solutions that allow them to correct potentially catastrophic mistakes made by agentic AI.'
"As AI agents gain autonomy and optimise for outcomes, unintended errors can lead to business downtime," said Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik. "Agent Rewind integrates Predibase's advanced AI infrastructure with Rubrik's recovery capabilities to enable enterprises to embrace agentic AI confidently. Today's organisations will now have a clear process to trace, audit, and safely rewind undesired AI actions."
AI agents possess significant potential, yet, like humans, they are prone to mistakes that result in unintended business disruption. Recent incidents of AI agent errors highlight a spectrum of situations ranging from technical malfunctions and legal issues to even the deletion of entire production databases. A recent study found that AI agents are frequently becoming disoriented, choosing incorrect shortcuts, and struggling to complete even simple multi-step tasks, revealing critical flaws that undermine their reliability and effectiveness.
Agent Rewind makes previously opaque AI actions visible, auditable, and reversible, creating an audit trail and immutable snapshots that facilitate safe rollback. Current observability tools only show what happened, but not why or how to reverse high-risk actions.
"Agent Rewind will close the loop on what happened, why it happened, and how to undo it," said Chad Pallett, Chief Information Security Officer at BioIVT, a global research partner and biospecimen solutions provider for drug and diagnostic development. "When using AI, there is a need for observability and secure rollback. Rubrik and Predibase will provide not just data safety and model speed, but also AI recoverability. In a market craving true observability and remediation, Agent Rewind is the answer I've been waiting for."
When AI goes awry, Agent Rewind offers:
Context-Enriched Visibility: Surfaces agent behaviour, tool use, and impact whilecontextualising each action, mapping it back to its root cause – from prompts to plans to tools – to enable precise recovery when something goes wrong.
Safe Rollback: Uses Rubrik Security Cloud to rewind what changed, whether that's files, databases, configurations, or repositories.
Broad Compatibility: Will integrate seamlessly with a wide range of platforms, APIs, and agent builders, including Agentforce, Microsoft Copilot Studio, and Amazon Bedrock Agents, and will be compatible with any custom AI agent.

New Workday Global Research: AI Agents Are Here, But Don't Call Them Boss
Pleasanton, Calif., August 12, 2025 — Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), the AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, today released new global research that shows that while AI agents are gaining ground in the workplace, employees still want clear boundaries. According to the report AI Agents Are Here – But Don't Call Them Boss, 75% of workers are comfortable teaming up with AI agents—but only 30% say they are comfortable being managed by one. This signals a key challenge for businesses: how to embrace the power of AI without losing the human touch. The research underscores that while widespread optimism is driving the rapid adoption of AI agents – with 68% of organisations already launching or using them in early production – employees are clearly drawing a line between how they are and are not willing to work with AI. 'We're entering a new era of work where AI can be an incredible partner, and a complement to human judgement, leadership, and empathy,' said Kathy Pham, vice president, AI, Workday. 'Building trust means being intentional in how AI is used and keeping people at the center of every decision.' Key findings from the report include: AI as Co-Pilot, Not Commander: Three out of four employees are highly comfortable with AI agents working alongside them and recommending new skills—but only 30% are comfortable with an AI agent managing them. A mere 24% are comfortable with AI agents operating in the background without human knowledge. Establishing clear boundaries for AI is key to building employee trust and driving greater adoption. Exposure to AI Agents Drives Trust: While more than one-quarter of respondents still believe agents are overhyped, trust in agents rises dramatically with increased use. For instance, only 36% of those exploring AI agents trust their organisation to use them responsibly, but that number jumps to 95% among those further along. Direct experience with AI agents builds confidence. The Double-Edged Sword of AI Productivity: Nearly 90% of employees believe AI agents will help them get more done, but many are also concerned that these productivity gains will lead to increased pressure (48%), a decline in critical thinking (48%) and less human interaction (36%). This underscores the need for thoughtful implementation that prioritizes employee well-being. Distinct Roles for Agents and Humans: Most see agents as important teammates, but not full members of the workforce. Trust in AI also depends on the task; it's highest for IT support and skills development and lowest for sensitive areas like hiring, finance, and legal matters. Finance Sees Big Potential: With the industry facing a shortage of CPAs and finance professionals, more than three-quarters (76%) of finance workers believe AI agents will help close the gap and only 12% are worried about job loss. The top uses for AI agents in Finance include forecasting and budgeting (32%), financial reporting (32%), and fraud detection (30%). This research underscores a crucial path forward: to harness the potential of AI, organisations must focus on building trust through transparency and empowering their people. This isn't just about deploying new technology. It's about thoughtfully designing a future where AI agents enhance human capabilities, enabling a more productive and fulfilling work experience for all. For additional information About The Report Our findings are based on a global survey of 2,950 full-time decision-makers and software implementation leaders across three key regions: North America (n=706), APAC (n=1,031), and EMEA (n=1,213). Data collection was conducted by Hanover Research in May and June 2025, commissioned by Workday. About Workday Workday is the AI platform for managing people, money, and agents. The Workday platform is built with AI at the core to help customers elevate people, supercharge work, and move their business forever forward.

Nutanix Named A Challenger In 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ For Container Management
Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, today announced it has been recognised as a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Container Management. This marks Nutanix's recognition for the first time in this Magic Quadrant following the launch of its Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) solution last year. Nutanix launched NKP following the integration of D2iQ, Inc.'s Kubernetes Platform, enabling Nutanix to quickly deliver a production-ready enterprise solution for managing cloud native applications across diverse environments. This gives Nutanix customers the ability to run modern and traditional applications on the same platform anywhere, including in their datacentre, at the edge, or in public clouds on either virtualised underlays, bare metal, or native public cloud Kubernetes® environments. 'We're delighted to be recognised as a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Container Management, which we believe is testament to our relentless focus on product innovation and customer success,' said Lee Caswell, SVP Product and Solutions Marketing at Nutanix. 'Our open and complete NKP solution complements our existing portfolio both architecturally and in go-to-market execution, giving customers a seamless path to modernise their applications while simplifying operations across hybrid multicloud environments.' Nutanix customers worldwide, including a leading North American financial services firm which discussed their use case in this video, are using NKP to innovate faster with an open, CNCF-compliant cloud native stack that gives platform engineering teams a consistent operating model for securely managing Kubernetes clusters. NKP avoids operational complexity, simplifying monitoring, and managing containers. Another customer using NKP is Karnataka Bank in India, which is running its critical business applications, including cloud native customer-facing ones, on the Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) solution, which supports Kubernetes. The applications running on NCP enable the bank to provide services such as mobile and Internet banking, fraud and risk management, loan management, and much more. The bank is also running a cloud native digital currency application required by the Reserve Bank of India on NCP. 'Our customers are digitally savvy, so this requires us to quickly roll-out and provide cloud native applications that are easy to use, can be easily updated, and are always available,' said Venkat Krishnan, CIO, Karnataka Bank. 'Nutanix's platform, ability to support Kubernetes, and professional services enable us to deploy the applications required by the marketplace we serve and regulators.' Nutanix continued to innovate in the container space with the introduction of its Cloud Native AOS solution earlier this year—extending Nutanix's enterprise storage and advanced data services to hyperscaler Kubernetes services and bare metal cloud native environments, all without requiring a hypervisor. The Cloud Native AOS solution is now available globally.
