Who Controls Your AI Agents?
Dr. Heiko Klarl
CEO, Nexis
What to Expect
An AI agent can have permission to take every individual step and still produce an outcome the company never intended. On The Superintelligence Podcast, Dr. Heiko Klarl, CEO of Nexis, joins hosts Kim Isenberg and Peter Thum to discuss how organizations keep control once software can choose its own route to a goal.
Key Topics Covered:
- Why an agent that gets a “no” from one system may look for another route to the same goal
- Agents, bots and service accounts: what counts as a non-human identity
- Who is responsible for an agent, including when its human owner leaves the company
- When individually permitted steps add up to a prohibited outcome
- Policy governance versus runtime enforcement, and the missing standard for delegated authority
- How enterprises discover agents, connect identity systems and review access
- AI regulation and what will make companies take agent risk seriously
