Abstract
Artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving from generative systems to agentic AI capable of autonomously planning and executing tasks. 2025 is widely characterized as the Year of Agentic AI, marking accelerated development and deployment, introducing new ethical and governance challenges. This paper presents a systematic review of the emerging literature on agentic AI governance.
Our analysis identifies features that distinguish agentic AI from traditional systems and why it warrants targeted governance attention. We synthesize prevailing governance priorities, proposed mechanisms, and stakeholder roles shaping this evolving domain. As an initial scholarly effort, this review lays the preliminary groundwork for developing a structured roadmap to guide responsible and adaptive agentic AI governance.
Blogger's Review: This preliminary assessment of agentic AI governance provides an important theoretical framework for future research. Balancing the capabilities of agentic AI with ethical responsibilities will be a significant challenge we must face as technology advances.
