What industries are most affected by AI agent governance requirements?

Answer

Financial services (SEC, OCC, FINRA algorithmic trading rules, BSA/AML), healthcare (HIPAA, FDA AI/ML guidance), insurance (state AI bias laws), government (EO 14110, NIST AI RMF), legal (bar association AI ethics opinions), and any company operating in the EU (EU AI Act). However, every industry deploying autonomous agents will face governance requirements — the question is whether you build the controls before or after the first incident.
