TENTANG EPISODE INI
How can enterprises drive AI transformation while fully accounting for the risks that increased agent access may create?
In this episode of Architect the Future, Kavitha Prasad, a senior leader in AI and Data strategy, discusses acceptable risk: the process of determining what an enterprise is comfortable with happening if something goes wrong.
Kavitha stresses that enterprises should build this risk-evaluation process into AI transformation from the outset. When assessing risk, they must consider every layer of the stack, from hardware to software.
Discussion Highlights:
- Agentic Risk Profiles: How agentic systems have changed the types of risks enterprises face.
- Acceptable Risk: How leaders can determine the level of risk they are willing to accept when pursuing AI transformation.
- Guardrails, Circuit Breakers, and Alarms: How to create bounded experiments and permissions, with an emphasis on being able to turn an agent off if needed.
- The Human in the Loop: How to manage agents effectively through human reasoning, oversight, and ownership.
- Looking Ahead: Kavitha’s parting advice for enterprise leaders: understand your business environment and carefully define and contain your intended outcomes.
