The traditional 'human-in-the-loop' approach fails to provide sufficient oversight for agentic AI, which autonomously makes many decisions much faster than humans can review. Instead, organisations must build institution-level safeguards with risk-tiered review, detailed provenance tracking, and automated inference checks to manage AI decision risks effectively.
