8:00 AM Governing Agentic AI: Building Trust, Control and Accountability into Autonomous Systems

Serving 8.7 million electric and 1.6 million natural gas customers, Duke Energy operates at a scale where the implications of deploying increasingly autonomous AI systems extend far beyond individual use cases. As organizations move towards AI agents and autonomous workflows, ensuring those systems are trusted, controlled and accountable becomes increasingly critical.
