## What’s On?

Speaker: Sandeep Bhalekar, Founder – Global Institute of Artificial Intelligence
Title: Who Governs When AI Acts?
Abstract:
AI is moving beyond answering questions. Agentic AI systems can now plan tasks, use tools, access information, interact with other systems and take actions with increasing levels of autonomy.
But as AI gains the ability to act, a critical governance question emerges: who controls what the AI is allowed to do?
This session explores how governance needs to evolve for the age of AI agents and increasingly autonomous AI systems. We’ll examine practical approaches to defining authority, setting boundaries, maintaining human oversight and controlling risk without removing the value that autonomy provides.

## What You’ll Learn

✅ From AI That Answers to AI That Acts — Understand why agentic and autonomous AI introduces fundamentally different governance challenges.
✅ Defining AI Authority — Explore how organisations can determine what an AI system may access, decide, execute and escalate.
✅ Human Oversight & Intervention — Understand where human approval should remain mandatory and when an AI system should pause or escalate.
✅ Identity, Access & Permissions — Explore why agent identity and permission boundaries become critical when AI can interact with enterprise systems and tools.
✅ Guardrails for Autonomous AI — Learn how organisations can establish operational boundaries, approval checkpoints and controls around agent behaviour.
✅ Monitoring & Accountability — Understand why AI actions need traceability, logging, evaluation and clear ownership.
✅ Governing Multi-Agent Systems — Explore the additional challenges created when multiple specialised AI agents interact and collaborate.

## Who This Is For

C-suite and executive leaders, CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, Chief AI Officers, AI governance and risk professionals, technology leaders, AI architects, developers, product leaders, consultants and practitioners working with AI agents, enterprise AI or autonomous systems.
This session is particularly relevant for organisations moving from Generative AI experimentation toward agentic AI and AI-enabled business processes.

## Format

90-minute live session featuring practical examples, governance scenarios and discussion around controlling increasingly autonomous AI systems, followed by an open Q&A.
The focus is not simply on how to build AI agents. It is on answering a more important enterprise question:

When AI has the authority to act — how do we govern it?
