Governing AI Agents: The Expanding Role of RIM in the Autonomous Enterprise
Featuring Andrew Ysasi, CRM, IGP, CIGO, FIP, CIPM, CISM, PMP
Artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving from assistive tools to autonomous agents capable of generating content, executing tasks, and influencing decisions across the enterprise. This presents a fundamental transformation on how information is created, managed, and governed. This session explores the current state of AI, the rise of agentic systems, and the governance risks they introduce, including data proliferation, lack of transparency, and accountability gaps. It positions Records and Information Management (RIM) professionals at the center of this shift, outlining how core principles must evolve to govern AI-generated and agent-driven information. Ultimately, this presentation makes the case that RIM is not a downstream function in the age of AI, but a critical control layer ensuring that AI agents remain trustworthy, compliant, and auditable.
