Coordinating control: governing agentic artificial intelligence

T he advent of agentic artificial intelli- gence signals a revolutionary shift in the AI governance landscape. Gen- erative AI is about AI’s ability to process information and generate the appropri- ate text and audiovisual responses. Agentic AI, however, is about the capability of such systems to act autonomously, in tandem with each other, in order to achieve set goals. This means that an AI system pow- ered by AI agents could orchestrate an entire cyberattack campaign (from detect- ing vulnerabilities to coding malicious code packages to ensuring that the desired outcome is attained) without the need for skilled operators.

While national AI strategies are advancing, the emergence of autonomous systems exposes the limits of fragmented regulation. Effective governance will require coordinated G7 action to establish shared standards, accountability and cross-border oversight
