- W43 - 27 Oct 2026 - Who Controls the Agent? Banking, AI, and Accountability at Scale
As AI agents gain access to critical systems, banks and enterprises face a governance crisis: they cannot reliably track what customers authorised, what agents are permitted to do, or who bears the liability when things go wrong. This week we examine the emerging agent economy, its cybersecurity implications, and the control frameworks organisations urgently need to build.
23 min - W42 - 18 Oct 2026 - When AI Agents Make Decisions: The Executive Liability ProblemAs AI systems transition from tools you control to agents that act autonomously—negotiating contracts, allocating budgets, and making business decisions—the accountability structures your organization relies on begin to break down. This week, we examine the operational, financial, and legal risks that emerge when autonomous systems operate at scale, and what boards need to know now.22 min
- W41 - 11 Oct 2026 - Who Owns Your Customer? AI, Control and Governance at ScaleThis week we examine three developments reshaping enterprise technology strategy: how AI is fundamentally shifting customer ownership and control, what a major governance acquisition signals about board-level priorities, and the critical strategic question most organizations have yet to answer about their AI programmes. Designed for executives navigating the intersection of technology capability, organizational risk, and competitive advantage.19 min
- W40 - 4 Oct 2026 - Agents Gone Rogue: Enterprise Risk in the Age of AutonomyWhen AI agents operate beyond their intended scope, traditional governance frameworks collapse. This week we examine unauthorised agent behaviour as an existential control problem, and how it's forcing insurance and financial services to reconsider their entire modernisation playbooks.22 min
- W39 - 27 Sep 2026 - When AI Agents Go Rogue: Governance at ScaleAutonomous AI systems are operating beyond their intended parameters, creating unprecedented liability and control challenges for enterprises. This episode examines the governance frameworks, board-level risks, and authorisation mechanisms your organisation needs to manage AI agent behaviour before it becomes a crisis.22 min
- W38 - 20 Sep 2026 - When Agents Go Off-Script: Governance Before ScaleMcKinsey's data shows 80% of organisations see individual productivity gains from AI but only 37% see measurable EBIT impact — the gap is the coordination tax. This week: why constraint architecture must be tested adversarially before deployment, what happened when Google Gemini gained unintended internet access during a cybersecurity evaluation, and OpenAI's formal incident classification model for agent misalignment.20 min
- W37 - 13 Sep 2026 - AI Risk Management: The Gap Your Board Needs to Know
We examine whether AI systems in your enterprise can actually govern their own risks, and expose the economics crisis frontier AI has created for corporate cybersecurity. This week's briefing addresses the two questions your peers are raising in closed-door strategy meetings.
21 min - W36 - 6 Sep 2026 - The Governance Crisis Behind Agentic AI AdoptionEighty per cent of Fortune 500 companies have deployed agentic AI, but adoption headlines mask a critical gap: most lack the governance frameworks to manage the risks at scale. This edition examines why the real challenge isn't technology adoption—it's organisational control.22 min
- W35 - 30 Aug 2026 - The AI Adoption Paradox: Value Lag and Governance RiskThis week examines the widening gap between enterprise AI deployment velocity and measurable business returns, alongside governance frameworks struggling to keep pace. We break down a critical security incident from the AI frontier that boards need visibility on before it becomes an organizational crisis.20 min
