Agentic AI Governance and Control

This five-day programme prepares technology, risk, and governance professionals to govern AI agents that plan and act with autonomy, covering agentic AI fundamentals and architecture, AI governance frameworks and structures, agent risk assessment and control design, oversight, testing and incident response, and assurance, documentation and reporting. Participants develop skills in AI governance structuring, agent risk assessment, control and oversight design, and AI assurance reporting.

Introduction

Agentic AI Governance and Control Training Course prepares technology, risk, and governance professionals to govern AI agents that plan and act with autonomy. Participants work through agentic AI fundamentals and architecture, agent autonomy levels and decision boundaries, the AI governance frameworks including the NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001, agent risk assessment and control design, human oversight and escalation models, accountability and auditability, and monitoring, incident response, and assurance as one connected discipline. The programme links the decisions an AI agent takes with the human accountability that must remain. As a result, learners gain a practical command of agentic AI governance. Furthermore, the course strengthens control judgement, oversight design, and technology risk literacy.
