# From Systems of Record to Systems of Trust: A Board-Level Playbook for Governing Agentic AI

The World Economic Forum published a board-level playbook arguing that as agentic AI moves from conversational tools to autonomous operational actors, boards must shift governance from static compliance to continuous, real-time oversight. The article calls on boards to establish named AI stewards, cross-functional governance councils, and phased oversight frameworks that grow with AI maturity. For SEA mid-market CEOs and board members, this is immediately actionable: it reframes AI governance as a foundational board responsibility, not a delegation item for the CIO.
