Governance by Design for Agentic AI Systems by Himanshu Joshi

This talk explores Al Governance by Design (AIGD), a proactive approach that integrates ethical, legal, and societal considerations directly into Al system development from inception. By analyzing established frameworks and organizational practices, it presents core principles, implementation strategies, and key challenges organizations face when adopting this approach, with a specific focus on agentic Al systems. The framework demonstrates how design-centric governance enables organizations to build more trustworthy Al systems, effectively mitigate risks, and align with societal values. It proposes specialized governance mechanisms for autonomous agentic systems and provides practical implementation guidelines across various domains. The concept contributes to the advancement of responsible AI governance by offering a structured methodology for embedding governance throughout the AI lifecycle, particularly for systems with high degrees of autonomy and decision-making capability.
