API Gateways Weren't Built for AI—And That's Costing You Millions

Traditional API gateways fail against modern AI agent challenges: developers hardcode API keys leading to token hemorrhaging, agents gain unfiltered access to internal systems creating security nightmares, and duplicate queries multiply costs exponentially. WSO2's evolved AI Gateway introduces semantic caching (recognizing intent over exact URLs), MCP Hub integration (securely exposing APIs to agents), and PII masking to address these gaps. For enterprises scaling AI workloads in 2026, this shift from reactive API management to proactive AI governance is now essential infrastructure, not optional innovation.
