The One About Agents and Guardrails

​As AI agents become more autonomous and capable, the question isn't just what they can do but how we ensure they do it safely. Join us to explore governance and risk management frameworks essential for deploying AI agents responsibly in organizational settings.

​More About the Sharings​

• ​Shaun and Jessica from the Responsible AI team in GovTech will introduce the Agentic Risk & Capability Framework, a technical governance framework that enables organisations to manage the safety and security risks of agentic AI systems through a risk-based approach. Learn how this framework helps organisations systematically identify, measure, and mitigate agentic AI risks through a structured risk-based approach, from baseline safeguards to capability-specific controls. We will also share details for how to implement the ARC Framework at the organisational or agency level, focusing on how governance teams and AI developers can use the framework to effectively identify, measure, and mitigate risks of agentic AI systems.

• ​John Ang (Associate Director, Temus) will be sharing practical strategies for deploying autonomous AI agents safely in business environments. Through real-world examples and surprising insights, discover why the most effective safeguards aren't always technical, and learn key approaches to maintaining control while maximizing AI's transformative potential. John's expertise focuses on balancing innovation with operational stability, helping organizations harness AI's capabilities without the associated risks. (Technical Level: 100)
