Agentic AI Risk Control Framework

The Agentic AI Risk Control Framework is a not-for-profit standard for managing the enterprise-wide risks associated with integrating non-human workforces into business processes. We are not interested in just jumping on the AI governance bandwagon, though: we built the Framework to support the industry-wide need to improve the performance and efficiency of client experience through Fetch, the CX Data Collection Agent. The Framework is important because agent-led automation is accelerating, but without the right controls, firms risk avoidable harm, cost, and reputational damage. Asset managers, therefore, should evaluate their current agentic AI exposure, adopt a phased control approach and, to stay ahead, register their interest in gaining the earliest access to the framework in September.

CX Data Collection Agent - AI robot brain refers to an Agentic AI system that can manage tasks, make decisions, and adjust business or technology processes to be efficient on its own. New AI is driven by intelligent systems.
