Rich Isenberg

Rich Isenberg, a McKinsey partner who advises leaders on scaling agentic AI and risk, joins to discuss trust and accountability for autonomous systems. He covers how agency shifts decision rights and why governance, non-bypassable guardrails, and automated monitoring matter. Short pilots, clear escalation paths, and kill switches are highlighted as ways to scale safely.

Charlie Lewis, cybersecurity and tech resilience lead with board-level advising experience, and Rich Isenberg, former CISO turned resilience partner, unpack agentic AI risks and governance. They define agentic versus generative AI. They cover attacker use of adaptive agents, operational fragility from shared models, risk-based agent classification, observability and kill switches, and treating agents like digital employees for safe scale.
