AI Agent Governance Gets Real: Autonomous Driving-Style Classification Meets Emerging Liability Law
Two independent threads this weekend converged on the same problem: as AI agents grow more autonomous, who's responsible when they act — and how do you even categorize what they're doing?
The question of how to govern AI agents is rapidly moving from theoretical to operational.
