Why Agents Demand New Governance Approaches
OneTrust, Thursday, August 7th, 2025
AI agents are rewriting the rules of enterprise governance. Intelligent and autonomous, agents make independent decisions, access sensitive data, and execute actions without human intervention. They operate at a speed and scale that conventional governance can't keep up with.
The result is a dangerous governance gap where critical decisions happen faster than oversight mechanisms can respond. For teams across privacy, risk, data, and compliance, this marks a fundamental departure from traditional methods and calls for a complete reimagining of how we govern intelligent systems.
