The compliance gap: Governing AI agents in the enterprise

Enabling greater AI autonomy without losing control

HotTopics Food for Thought In partnership with 

As AI evolves from generating and recommending to deciding and acting, the governance challenge facing enterprise technology and data leaders is changing with it. Organisations are no longer simply governing data and models, but the business decisions and actions AI agents execute on their behalf.

For leaders in highly regulated environments, this significantly raises the stakes. As organisations automate more business workflows, they must navigate evolving AI regulation, data protection and industry-specific compliance requirements while maintaining visibility into what AI agents are doing, which data informs their decisions and, critically, who remains accountable when something goes wrong.

This HotTopics Food for Thought, in partnership with Informatica, brings senior technology and data leaders together to explore how governance must evolve for the agentic era. Through a peer-led discussion over lunch, attendees will consider how organisations can:

• Build trust through effective data and model governance
• Maintain visibility and auditability as AI agents gain greater autonomy
• Establish clear accountability for AI-driven decisions and actions
• Meet regulatory and industry-specific compliance requirements
• Enable greater AI autonomy without ceding control
