AI Agents: The emerging risk boards can't ignore

AI agents offer significant benefits but are moving faster than many organisations’ governance frameworks. 

Regulators are increasingly signalling the need for stronger board oversight of AI-related risks. How can boards confidently govern AI agents with clear accountability, sound risk management and responsible deployment, while still supporting innovation and growth?

The OpenAI-Hugging Face security breach alongside a growing list of AI-related security and governance incidents, illustrates a pressing board-level challenge: organisations are increasingly relying on AI agents that can make decisions and take action autonomously, while governance and accountability frameworks are still evolving.

As agents proliferate, boards must treat agents as delegated authority, not just technology. What decisions or actions can an agent make, what controls should constrain agents, and where does accountability sit when something goes wrong?

Drawing on the insights of leading agentic AI experts, this webinar cuts through the hype to help boards:

  • Explain the key characteristics of agentic AI and how it differs from traditional AI systems.
  • Identify the governance, accountability and risk issues created by increasingly autonomous AI systems.
  • Outline board responsibilities for governing AI agents
  • Introduce a practical governance framework to support board discussions and decision making about agentic AI.

Directors will leave with a clear view of the board’s role in setting agents’ boundaries, adapting governance frameworks and guiding opportunity and managing risks of AI agents across the organisation.
