Enterprises have spent decades learning how to audit people and software. Agentic AI creates a third category: systems that interpret instructions, call tools and act across workflows without a mature assurance model built around them. In my work as a leader and investor across technology-enabled businesses, I have spent years around automation, cybersecurity, compliance, workflow design and board reporting. Agentic AI complicates that question because a single outcome may pass through several systems. An agent can collect information, choose a tool, produce code, route a request and hand work to another agent before a person approves the result.
