AI Risk: The Approval Nobody Signed Off
Not a model or Agentic deployment your risk committee signed off on. A decision, a real one, with real consequences, that an AI Agent leveraging a LLM made on its own, embedded three layers deep in some workflow nobody in the executive suite has looked at since it went live. This is the uncomfortable truth I opened with at the AI Risk Summit in Half Moon Bay last month, and it’s the truth I want to unpack here, because I don’t think most leadership teams have actually internalized it yet.

Not a decision your board debated. Not a model or Agentic deployment your risk committee signed off on.
