How to Govern AI Agents Effectively
Wednesday, 23 September, 2026
Camilo Artiga-Purcell is General Counsel at Kiteworks, where he leads the company's global legal operations across commercial contracts, data privacy and cybersecurity compliance, M&A, litigation, and regulatory strategy. He has advised on seven acquisitions and brings over a decade of experience litigating complex commercial disputes from inception through trial and appeal. A recognized voice on AI governance and data security risk, Camilo regularly publishes on the legal challenges organizations face as they adopt emerging technologies. In this episode… AI agents are becoming more common in everyday business operations, gathering data and carrying out tasks for organizations. Traditional governance policies typically place guardrails around the AI tools human employees can use, what data they can access, and how that information can be used for business purposes. Companies need to extend those same controls to AI agents as they deploy them to reduce risk and meet compliance requirements under a growing patchwork of AI regulations and existing US and global privacy laws. So, what does it take to govern AI agents effectively? Before allowing AI agents to access and use sensitive data, organizations need to establish governance policies that define what they can or cannot do with it. Companies can then use tools like software wrappers to implement these policies on the front end while generating an audit trail on the back end that logs the agent's identity, the prompt, where it went, and what it did. Those records can plug into e-discovery systems to show whether the agent operated in compliance and provide a clear path to reconstruct its activity if it goes rogue. Alongside these controls, companies should also put security measures in place when they adopt AI models, rather than after problems arise. Employees also need training on how to use AI responsibly, with ongoing education that evolves with the technology. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels talk with Camilo Artiga-Purcell, General Counsel at Kiteworks, about governing AI agents as their use expands across organizations. Camilo explains why governance policies need to be applied directly to AI agents, with evidence-quality audit trails that document their activity. He discusses the importance of proactively embedding security controls into AI tools, highlighting the risks surrounding certain AI models. Camilo also shares his insights into rising AI costs and how organizations can determine which models are appropriate for different teams, and he offers practical tips for verifying AI outputs and pressure testing the results.
