Once the foundational agent stack is built, regulated industries like finance and healthcare confront the "Agency Paradox"; the very autonomy that makes agents powerful is incompatible with legal frameworks demanding predictability, auditability, and accountability. This creates a critical, un-insurable liability gap, as the emergent and unforeseeable behavior of agents shatters traditional legal models of liability. This talk argues for a new framework by learning from mature, high-stakes engineering disciplines. Drawing insights from industries like aviation and nuclear safety, I will present a concrete architecture for verifiable autonomy. This model moves beyond simple guardrails to prove compliance by design, using multiple layers that act as safeguards by design.
