Practices for Governing Agentic AI Systems
Yonadav Shavit, Sandhini Agarwal, and their OpenAI co-authors were writing about agentic AI governance back in December 2023, before most of the industry had settled on what an "agent" even meant, and the practices they propose, clear task specification, human-in-the-loop checkpoints for consequential actions, and traceability for what an agent actually did, read as more prescient than dated two years on. It's a policy paper rather than an engineering blog post, but the practices map directly onto real design decisions if you're building anything that lets a model take actions with side effects. Good context for why "just let the agent decide" is a bigger decision than it sounds.
