So You Thought Your AI Was Governed: The Need to Adapt Governance for Agentic AI

Many tech-developing or tech-forward companies have at least basic AI governance in place. But agentic AI — widely described as having its breakout moment in 2026 — presents distinct considerations. Compared with other AI forms, it has different risks and a heightened risk profile. Companies that fail to adapt their AI governance approach for agentic AI may be caught unprepared for these risks, particularly given how regulators and courts may assign responsibility.

This session will help legal and other administrative stakeholders understand these issues and adapt their internal governance approaches to address them more effectively.

What you will learn:

• An understanding of key agentic AI use cases to date, both enterprise and consumer-facing.
• Ability to issue spot how agentic AI poses new or different risks from other forms of AI, including how regulators are likely to view responsibility for mitigating these risks.
• Actionable strategies for how to adapt an existing AI, privacy and security governance approach to mitigate agentic AI risks.
