Governing Agentic AI: A Research Perspective on Autonomous Enterprise Actions
AI agents can do more than generate answers. They can use credentials, access data, call tools and change real systems. That ability creates operational risks that require clear ownership and controls over what each agent is allowed to do. This Valtrenix whitepaper explores how organizations can assess agent use cases and govern autonomous actions. Its frameworks and controls are illustrative concepts for learning and discussion.
