Agentic AI governance is rapidly shifting from policy-based oversight to architecture-level control embedded within systems. Across industry and academia, frameworks converge on managing risks such as cascading failures, weak oversight, and limited auditability through continuous monitoring, human-in-the-loop design, and robust identity and control layers. The key constraint is no longer agent capability, but the maturity of governance infrastructure needed to scale these systems safely and reliably.
