About the Course

As AI agents become capable of planning activities, using tools and undertaking increasingly autonomous actions, organisations face new challenges in maintaining accountability, oversight and control. Agentic AI Governance: Oversight, Accountability and Responsible Autonomy provides a practical introduction to governing these emerging capabilities responsibly. You will explore how organisations can establish accountable ownership, define decision rights, classify risks, develop assurance arrangements and implement proportionate governance controls across the agent lifecycle. Through realistic professional scenarios and applied activities, you will learn to investigate governance weaknesses, assess institutional responsibilities and respond to the challenges created by autonomous AI systems. The course culminates in the development of your own Agentic AI Governance and Assurance Framework, providing a structured foundation for organisational planning, policy development and responsible implementation. Designed for educators, researchers, managers, professional services staff and institutional leaders, the course requires no programming experience or specialist software. Develop the confidence and practical judgement to help organisations adopt agentic AI responsibly while preserving meaningful human accountability.
