The leadership dilemma: Governing the “Agentic AI” workforce
In this piece, Peter Connolly argues that AI is no longer just a tool but an active part of the workforce. As organisations adopt more autonomous, decision-making systems, the real challenge is not deployment but governance. Without clear accountability, identity controls and behavioural guardrails, digital agents can introduce risks similar to highly privileged insiders. His message is straightforward: treat AI like part of the workforce, with defined ownership, oversight and limits, or risk letting autonomy outpace control.
