Key signals
- Salesforce, Microsoft, ServiceNow, Kore.ai building governance control layers
- AI agents already deployed across Global 2000 companies in production
- Governance gap identified as widespread industry problem
- Focus on compliance and oversight for autonomous agent systems
- Published May 2026 — indicates governance as emerging board-level concern
The hook
