Only 20% of surveyed companies building semantic layers say the layers are their AI agents' main source of business context

VentureBeat reports that two-thirds of companies in a VB Pulse survey are building semantic layers, but only 20% of those companies say the layers are their AI agents' main source of business context. In the same data, 78% of companies building semantic layers report confidently wrong AI-agent answers, compared with 37% of those that aren't. VentureBeat asks whether that gap reflects better detection or teams fighting back after bad experiences.
