“Autonomous AI agents are coming, but who will govern who?” asks Art of Procurement with the release of a brand-new whitepaper, providing an overview of the guardrails and governance required to implement agentic AI responsibly.
Procurement Governance in the Age of AI: The New Role of Agents features a practical six-step framework for implementing AI governance in procurement, covering roles, controls and ongoing monitoring.
You’ll also learn:
- What agentic AI is, how it differs from traditional AI and why procurement needs to pay attention now
- Where autonomous agents can drive the biggest impact across sourcing, contracting and supplier management
- The guardrails procurement must focus on to successfully manage accountability, transparency, fairness and security
- The common mistakes that can cause AI initiatives to stall before they even reach production
“As procurement leaders enter a new phase of AI adoption, the conversation is quickly shifting from automation to agents, where systems can plan, take action and learn with minimal human oversight,” says Art of Procurement.
“These capabilities can accelerate sourcing, strengthen compliance, improve supplier risk management and reduce manual work across the procurement lifecycle…or they can introduce new governance challenges. This is where procurement’s role needs to evolve.”
