For Chief AI Officers, the promise of Agentic AI is matched only by its risks. Unmonitored autonomy, compliance failures, bias, and agent sprawl can quietly undermine enterprise value if left unchecked.

This fact sheet provides senior AI leaders with a practical playbook for building control into autonomy, balancing innovation with accountability at every level of deployment. Featuring exclusive insights from Edosa Odaro, Advisor, Author, Value Driven Data & AI, and Debasmita Das, Data Science Manager, Mastercard, this guide offers leaders a clear framework for:
