Once the foundational agent stack is in place, regulated industries such as finance and healthcare confront the “Agency Paradox”: the autonomy that makes agents powerful is fundamentally at odds with legal frameworks that demand predictability, auditability and accountability. This creates a critical, potentially uninsurable liability gap, as the emergent and unforeseeable behaviour of agents challenges traditional models for assigning responsibility. Drawing lessons from mature, high-stakes engineering disciplines such as aviation and nuclear safety, this session presents a concrete architecture for verifiable autonomy. It moves beyond simple guardrails towards compliance by design, using multiple layers of safeguards to make autonomous systems more controllable, auditable and accountable.
