Episode notes
INSIGHT

Agentic AI's New Responsibility

  • Agentic AI promises to complete tasks autonomously, fulfilling users' desires better than simple chatbots.
  • Increased autonomy raises the stakes of errors and reduces direct human oversight, complicating governance.
INSIGHT

Multi-Agentic Systems Simplified

  • Multi-agentic systems divide complex tasks into smaller subtasks handled by specialized agents.
  • This modular approach allows targeted testing and guardrails for each agent, enhancing responsibility and control.
ADVICE

Govern Agents Individually

  • Govern each agent individually within multi-agent systems to maintain visibility and security.
  • Use monitoring tools like Foundry observability to detect off-task behavior and maintain least privileged access.
