Agentic AI: Board oversight in a new era

The game has changed. If generative AI was the tool, Agentic AI is the workforce.

We are entering a new era where AI systems are moving from assistants to autonomous actors. They can now initiate transactions, execute complex workflows, and make independent decisions, creating immense opportunities for growth and efficiency that were previously unimaginable.

But with this great power comes a new frontier of risks. When AI can act on its own, the board's role must shift from simply monitoring technology to actively governing delegated authority. Traditional oversight is no longer enough.

This transformation impacts every facet of the enterprise, demanding a fresh look at:

• Enterprise controls: How do you maintain auditable and effective internal controls for financial reporting (ICFR) when AI is executing transactions?
• Risk management: Is your cybersecurity and third-party risk posture prepared for the new vulnerabilities that autonomous agents introduce?
• Strategy & accountability: How do you ensure AI's actions are aligned with corporate strategy, and who is ultimately accountable when an agent makes a mistake?

Our latest thought leadership provides a clear framework for navigating this new landscape. It's designed to help boards ask the right questions and establish a robust governance model for an autonomous age.
