Agentic AI systems—autonomous agents that can take independent actions across digital and physical systems—are being deployed faster than safety oversight can keep pace. Current governance relies on post-hoc auditing and human review loops that fail once agents operate at scale or across distributed environments where human intervention lags behind decision-making. The problem is immediate: companies deploying autonomous agents face no real enforcement mechanism short of lawsuit. Regulators and enterprises lack tools designed for unsupervised operation.
