How do I quantify agent risk for my board?

Answer

Frame it in terms they understand:

1. Regulatory exposure — map each agent to applicable regulations and calculate maximum penalty exposure.
2. Operational risk — estimate the financial impact of an agent making N incorrect decisions per day at the speed it operates.
3. Reputational risk — reference comparable incidents (Tay, Air Canada chatbot ruling, CNET AI articles).
4. Insurance — check whether your cyber insurance covers autonomous agent actions (most policies don't yet). Present a risk scorecard showing current posture vs. industry benchmarks.
