AI Trust Deficit Hinders AIOps Adoption, Experts Say
A survey of 696 experts found that 73% are not using AIOps, with 60% citing a lack of trust as the main issue. NeuBird AI's Production Ops Agent aims to close this trust deficit by improving observability and root cause analysis. The company's solution is designed to generate high-signal alerts and reduce noise in the alert queue.

A recent survey of 696 experts has highlighted the challenges facing the adoption of AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations). The survey, conducted by NeuBird AI in April 2026, found that 73% of respondents are not using AIOps, with 60% citing a lack of trust as the main issue.
The lack of trust is not just a matter of faith in AI agents; it's also driven by concerns about ROI, security, and data quality. These concerns are not unfounded, as the survey also found that 19% of respondents are currently in pilot phase, while only 8% have AIOps in production.
NeuBird AI's Production Ops Agent is designed to address this trust deficit by improving observability and root cause analysis. Unlike traditional AIOps solutions that focus on summarizing alert queues, NeuBird AI's agent continuously correlates metrics, logs, traces, infrastructure telemetry, deployment activity, and dependency relationships to suggest probable root causes and next actions.
The key to NeuBird AI's solution is its focus on fixing observability at the source, rather than patching the output. As Field CTO Francois Martel explains, 'The point is to fix observability at the source, not patch the output.' By generating high-signal alerts and reducing noise in the alert queue, NeuBird AI's agent aims to make it easier for SRE teams to trust AI agents and adopt AIOps more widely.
