SKD WIREMostly True
Workday CTO Gabe Monroy argued at the Rising 2026 conference that enterprises should prioritize controlling AI risks rather than slowing down the pace of AI adoption, a message centered on the company's push for trusted AI agent platforms in the enterprise.
Monroy's remarks, delivered at the Rising conference, framed enterprise AI strategy around the need to manage the risks that come with deploying AI agents, rather than deliberately restraining how quickly the technology is adopted. Workday has positioned trusted agent platforms as a core element of its product direction, emphasizing that enterprises can benefit from AI agents only when their behavior is governed and reliable.
The reporting of Monroy's remarks contains minor discrepancies in schedule notation compared with available reference material, a detail flagged as the basis for the overall assessment of the claim. No substantive factual disputes were identified in the core substance of the CTO's comments or Workday's platform messaging.
The assessment drew on 12 primary sources, including official Workday materials and imagery from the company's trusted agent platform campaign.
The claim that Monroy called risk control more urgent than AI speed regulation is assessed as Mostly True.
