Many enterprises believe they have AI governance in place with policies and approval processes. However, this control often breaks down in real-world workflows where agents operate autonomously. 🤖 As these agents generate code and trigger automations, organizations lose visibility and accountability, leading to a false sense of control. Traditional governance fails to monitor their decisions in dynamic environments. 📉 This gap can result in unexpected outcomes and rising costs without clarity...
