Do you have AI agents, workflows, or experiments that are no longer providing business value? Many organizations accumulate pilot projects and temporary automations that continue consuming resources long after their original purpose has ended. This is the easiest and quickest way to reduce costs. 2. Do You Always Use the Ne

In 1944, 54 nations came together to establish the rules that made global aviation possible. We now need the same collective effort to govern the age of AI. News related to AI agents coming out of the summer 2026 cybersecurity conferences in Las Vegas, underscore the growing urgency of establishing a global treaty for agentic AI trust and security. The focus of the conference shifted from prompt injection vulnerabilities (making an agent act outside of model boundaries), to o

Enabling a future, where everyone owns multiple agents acting on their behalf, whether they are software agents or physical AI devices like robot lawnmowers or household robots, requires a new risk framework. The current agentic communications protocols – A2A, MCP, AP2, UCP – need to be extended to allow passing additional parameters about an agent’s risk posture and shutdown procedure. Secondly, additional “rules of the road” are required for agents as they are no longer pas
