▫️keep up with the pace of change - manage to adapt as quickly as something changes
eg. Companies struggle to keep up with the pace of change in AI.
▫️raise the evidence required - demand stronger proof before allowing something to happen
eg. As AI becomes more autonomous, we should raise the evidence required before deployment.
▫️have access to / reach into systems - be able to interact with or use organisational systems and data
eg. AI agents can reach into company systems, databases and other tools.

❓Questions for Discussion:
1. Should companies “pace the autonomy” of AI agents, or should they adopt new capabilities as quickly as possible to remain competitive?
2. Who should decide how much autonomy an AI system is allowed to have: the AI developer, the company using it, or an independent regulator?
3. Can governance and safety procedures realistically keep up with the speed at which AI capabilities are developing?

🧐 Agree / Disagree statements
1. “The more autonomous an AI system becomes, the stronger the evidence and human oversight should be before it is deployed.”
2. “For businesses, the biggest risk is not AI developing too quickly, but companies adopting AI before they understand what it is capable of.”
3. “If strict AI governance slows down innovation, companies may lose their competitive advantage.”
