Less is more when you are working with AI agents, because less means more guardrails. Without defined use cases aligned with your values and strategy, AI will be stalled in “efficiency” mode — helpful, but only realizing a fraction of its potential. You’ll probably also experience low adoption rates as people try it, then revert to their old habits. The key to increasing ROI across your entire organization is working with each team, deploying agents that work for them, then building out more complex and customized use cases over time. 5. Real-Time Risk Management of AI Stop AI problems in real time. Small problems can become big problems in minutes — whether cybersecurity, emergent behavior or a malicious actor inside your AI platform. Real-time AI risk management monitors all AI prompts and responses, agent actions, etc., looking for prompt injections and other types of attacks, unauthorized use, emergent behavior and hallucinations. At some point, you may need to redact confidential or personal information. An integrated reporting system helps you manage everything in real-time. 6. AI Lifecycle Governance Capture and catalog all model use cases, changes and activity. Having an updated AI inventory, including owners, is critical as AI expands from single-use cases to company-wide adoption. Additionally, having a record of AI usage, changes and activity can help you comply with financial services regulations, including the GLBA, SEC/FINRA, and the OCC, as well as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (RMF). 7. Innovation AI is not standing still, and neither will your AI solutions. Taking advantage of new AI capabilities requires constant innovation. As your corporate strategy evolves and AI improves, what you can and want to use AI for will change. That is why using a flexible, secure enterprise AI platform is so important.
