Скачать или смотреть Ankita Upadhyay | Guardrails for Agentic AI Enterprise

Learn how to govern AI systems that plan, decide, and execute independently. Ankita Upadhyay, Sr. Director of AI Enablement at Thomson Reuters, addresses enterprise AI's most critical challenge: managing autonomous agents that operate without constant human intervention while maintaining ethical accountability.

Why This Matters:

2025 marked a definitive shift from asking "What can AI answer?" to "What can AI do?" As enterprises embrace agentic AI for autonomous decision-making, the primary challenge has become governing systems capable of independent planning, integrated tool use, and multi-step execution. "There need to be guardrails, because it is impacting so many people."

What You'll Learn:

Governance frameworks for Agentic Autonomy in enterprise environments
Non-linear accountability models scaling with AI's increasing agency
Evolution from Responsible AI foundations to Agentic Governance in 2026
Ethical guardrails for autonomous decision-making systems
Moving organizations beyond experimentation into autonomous workflows
Balancing AI autonomy with human oversight and control

Agentic AI represents a fundamental shift in how enterprises deploy artificial intelligence. Unlike traditional LLMs that respond to prompts, agentic systems perform independent planning, utilize integrated tools, and execute complex multi-step processes. This talk traces the evolution of Responsible AI practices and reveals why 2026 demands entirely new governance approaches for systems that don't just assist but act.
