As AI evolves from machine learning models and LLMs to Autonomous AI agents, the nature of threats is rapidly shifting, from data bias and hallucinations to agents taking actions misaligned with human intent. This session explores how autonomous AI agents differ fundamentally in behavior, decision-making, and risk. We’ll discuss why traditional governance is no longer enough, and outline practical strategies to embed human values during onboarding and ensuring these agents act with responsibility, purpose, and alignment from the start.
