### AI overview

This article argues that organisations adopting AI agents should begin with process and system design rather than controls alone. It explains that design should account for human and machine strengths, establish proportionate guardrails, and define how observability and monitoring evolve as the system matures.

### Source excerpt

Concerns about control are one of the biggest barriers to adopting agentic AI, particularly in regulated environments. In this post, we discuss how organisations can harness AI safely by designing processes around the strengths of both humans and machines, then applying the right controls, guardrails and monitoring.
