Topic: When AI Starts Acting: Governing What AI Systems Are Allowed to Do
Session Description
AI is rapidly evolving from tools that generate outputs to systems where models propose actions and agents attempt to carry them out through tools, APIs, and workflows. As this shift happens, effective governance must move beyond model behavior to the systems that determine what AI-driven actions are actually allowed to execute.
This talk explores system-level controls that constrain agent behavior inside enterprise environments. The session will look at emerging governance patterns and practical questions security, engineering, and GRC teams should be asking as AI systems begin interacting with operational infrastructure.
Topics
- Governance boundaries across models, agents, and enterprise systems
• How enterprise systems enforce execution authority over AI agents
• Architectural controls such as authority limits, tool permissions, and runtime policy enforcement
• What security and GRC teams should verify before allowing AI agents to interact with operational systems
What you'll walk away with: a practical way to assess whether a process is actually ready for AI, and a clearer picture of where to start.
If you're planning any kind of AI adoption and want to do it right, this one's worth your time.
