    Agentic AI in the Wild: Accountability, Risk, and Leadership

    As AI agents move from experimentation to execution, enterprises are realizing that speed and efficiency are no longer the hardest problems to solve. Accountability is. In this CIO Talk Network conversation, host Sanjog Aul speaks with Aarti Singh, Enterprise CIO at Mahindra Group, to examine how leaders should think about responsibility, governance, and trust in an increasingly agentic AI environment. The discussion explores: Where leaders draw boundaries for autonomous AI agents Why explainability matters in real enterprise decision-making The risks introduced by third-party and black-box AI agents How organizations should respond when autonomous systems fail Why culture, not just controls, determines AI accountability This episode reframes agentic AI as more than a technology choice. It is an operating model and leadership challenge that demands alignment across business, IT, risk, and governance teams. For CIOs and enterprise leaders navigating AI adoption today, this conversation offers grounded insight into balancing innovation with responsibility. ▶️ Watch the full video on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ciotalknetwork ▶️ Watch on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/ciotalknetwork 🔗 Explore more CIO Talk Network conversations https://www.ciotalknetwork.com About CIO Talk Network (CTN) CIO Talk Network brings senior technology and business leaders together to discuss real decisions, real risks, and real leadership responsibilities in a digital-first world.
