Guardrails in Agentic AI systems: Designing guardrails around agentic AI
Agentic AI systems can make autonomous decisions and work toward complex goals. They represent a revolutionary shift that will transform how businesses operate. However, AI agents pose significant risks including hallucinations in critical systems, misaligned long-term goals, and potential competition with humans for resources. Such risks make robust safety measures essential. Companies must implement comprehensive guardrails including governance frameworks, multi-layered technical controls, and operational safeguards to safely deploy these powerful autonomous AI systems, while maintaining human oversight.
