This session explores how Microsoft Agent Governance Toolkit helps teams build AI agents with governance built in from the start. Imran Siddique will share the practical ideas behind the toolkit, how it supports safer and more scalable agent adoption, and what this means for real enterprise use. We will also connect the discussion to current governance needs in Europe, including the growing relevance of the EU AI Act for agent based systems.
