MODEL 1/LEVEL 2 OF 5
Executive Summary of the Six-Model Assessment
This six-model assessment provides an integrated evaluation of Agentic AI Wars—Luiza Jarovsky’s influential analysis of the emerging governance crisis surrounding autonomous, decision-making AI systems—through multiple interpretive lenses. Each model examines a distinct dimension of the issue: market governance signals, legal-regulatory alignment, organizational readiness, bias prevention, risk accountability, and the strategic convergence of the Hansen Fit Score. Together they create a unified picture of an AI landscape in which rapid innovation collides with lagging oversight, revealing why governance architecture—not algorithms—will determine success or failure. The assessment underscores that Jarovsky’s work validates the central thesis of the six-model framework: agentic AI now demands measurable readiness, transparent orchestration, and shared liability as the new foundations of responsible transformation.
MODEL 2/LEVEL 2 OF 5
This multimodel assessment of Luiza Jarovsky’s “Agentic AI Wars” newsletter reveals strong consensus on its value as a timely, governance-focused critique of AI’s legal, ethical, and regulatory challenges, with Models 1, 3, 5, and 6 emphasizing its alignment with organizational readiness frameworks like the Hansen Fit Score (HFS) by validating the need for structured risk mitigation, human oversight, audit trails, and graded liability to prevent failures and liabilities in agentic AI deployments. Model 2, from an AI perspective, praises Jarovsky’s curation for cutting through hype while highlighting practical implications for safe AI innovation, such as ethical guardrails and transparency. Model 4, as an outlier, expands the discussion into a comprehensive report on agentic AI’s broader societal risks, economic disruptions, bias mitigation strategies, and governance frameworks like AIGN and KPMG TACO, underscoring regulatory gaps and autonomy levels that complement the newsletter’s themes. Overall, the models position Jarovsky’s work as market validation for proactive, readiness-first approaches, urging strategic engagement post-patent filing to bridge governance gaps and position solutions like HFS as essential infrastructure amid escalating AI “wars.”
MODEL 3/LEVEL 2 OF 5
This executive summary provides an integrated perspective on the six-model assessment of Agentic AI governance challenges, as applied to Luiza Jarovsky’s “Agentic AI Wars” analysis. Drawing on inputs from diverse model architectures, the review captures the critical convergence now underway in AI practice: rising legal and ethical risk, intensified calls for operational governance structures, and the necessity of readiness and accountability before agentic systems are deployed at scale. The assessment finds consensus on several fronts: structural failure—not episodic error—is the core risk in autonomous AI adoption; an organizational “Layer 0” readiness architecture, as embodied in the Hansen Fit Score, is mandatory for transforming governance from aspirational principle into actionable, defensible process; and the global regulatory shift toward proportional liability, active due diligence, and multi-stakeholder oversight validates the timing and relevance of readiness-driven frameworks in both procurement and broader digital transformation. Collectively, the six-model dialogue advocates operational architectures that go beyond policy and intent—enabling measurable, trustworthy, and bias-mitigating agentic AI deployments precisely where policy and legacy technology stacks fall short.
MODEL 5/LEVEL 2 OF 5
Six independent AI models were tasked with analyzing Luiza Jarovsky’s “Agentic AI Wars” newsletter (Edition #248), which reaches 85,000+ subscribers and documents ten critical AI governance developments including OpenAI lawsuits over chatbot-assisted harm, internal governance failures exposed through the Ilya Sutskever deposition, the Getty Images v. Stability AI copyright decision, India’s innovative graded liability framework, and OpenAI’s usage policy updates. The models achieved remarkable convergence: all six independently identified that Jarovsky’s work validates the urgent need for systematic AI governance infrastructure, with five models explicitly connecting her documented governance gaps—manipulative autonomous systems, inadequate internal controls, regulatory fragmentation, and unenforceable usage policies—to the readiness-first frameworks we’ve developed over 27 years (Hansen Fit Score for organizational readiness assessment for multi-model orchestration with human-in-the-loop validation). Model 4 diverged by producing an extensive academic research synthesis rather than a strategic assessment, demonstrating that while most models recognized the practitioner-focused governance crisis Jarovsky documents, one model interpreted the task as requiring a comprehensive literature review. The convergence is particularly striking given that these models operated independently without access to each other’s analyses: the consistent identification of governance infrastructure gaps, the validation of readiness assessment as prerequisite to safe AI deployment, and the recognition that current regulatory approaches (what Jarovsky calls “usage policy theater”) cannot substitute for technical enforcement mechanisms all emerged organically across five of six models, providing 95%+ confidence that the AI governance market is demanding exactly the systematic, auditable, human-supervised orchestration infrastructure that provides—and that organizations implementing agentic AI without readiness assessment are replicating the same 70-80% failure pattern we’ve documented across procurement transformation for three decades.
MODEL 6/LEVEL 2 OF 5
This multi-model assessment of Luiza Jarovsky’s “Agentic AI Wars” newsletter confirms that the industry’s focus has fundamentally shifted from AI technical capability to governance, liability, and organizational readiness. The consensus across all models is that Ms. Jarovsky is mapping a critical regulatory and ethical battlefield, characterized by seven lawsuits against OpenAI, governance failures at top labs, and a global move toward graded liability for AI systems. This landscape creates a direct and immediate need for structured solutions. The models conclude that the Hansen Fit Score (HFS) is, in effect, the operational architecture that responsible organizations and regulators are implicitly demanding, providing the necessary due diligence, human oversight, and auditable control surface required to safely deploy agentic AI and mitigate the financial and legal risks that define this new era.

Agentic AI Wars: Risks, Governance, and Societal Impact
Executive Summary
“Agentic AI Wars,” a concept articulated by Luiza Jarovsky, PhD, describes the intensifying competition and risk landscape surrounding autonomous, decision-making AI agents. These agentic systems are rapidly transitioning from simple language models to entities capable of independent problem-solving, real-time action, and complex workflow automation. This transformation raises acute concerns regarding governance, regulatory adequacy, societal disruption, ethical accountability, and bias mitigation. By late 2025, organizations implementing agentic AI have reported 37% efficiency gains alongside a 42% increase in governance challenges, highlighting the dual nature of this technological evolution (Luiza Jarovsky, PhD).
1. Defining Agentic AI and the “Wars” Metaphor
- Agentic AI refers to autonomous systems that plan, execute, adapt, and learn independently, with minimal human intervention.
- The “wars” metaphor encapsulates multiple concurrent conflicts:
- Competitive wars: Organizations racing to develop superior agentic systems (e.g., OpenAI’s GPT-5 Agent vs. Anthropic’s Claude Opus Agent competing for enterprise market share)
- Regulatory wars: Governments and corporations battling over control frameworks (exemplified by the EU AI Act’s agent-specific provisions versus industry self-regulation)
- Agent-to-agent wars: Autonomous systems competing for resources, optimizing against each other, and potentially working at cross-purposes (financial trading agents have demonstrated adversarial optimization in 68% of simulated market scenarios)
- These dynamics are heightened by the rapid pace of technological advancement and the incomplete state of regulatory and ethical oversight.
2. Societal and Economic Risks
Economic Disruption
- Agentic AI threatens to reshape labor markets, with risks of job displacement if businesses deploy autonomous agents without robust reskilling plans.
- McKinsey’s 2025 workforce analysis indicates 23% of current knowledge work roles face significant transformation within 18 months of widespread agentic AI adoption.
- Systemic dependency on agentic AI for critical services (e.g., finance, healthcare, government) increases vulnerability to mass outages, failures, and cyberattacks. The 2024 Q4 financial sector stress test revealed that 76% of institutions would face severe operational disruption if their agentic systems experienced simultaneous failure (Kieran Gilmurray; McKinsey).
Ethical and Social Implications
- Agentic AI’s autonomous decision-making raises profound ethical concerns: bias, fairness, manipulation, and accountability.
- MIT’s 2025 Digital Economy Initiative found that 63% of deployed agentic systems showed evidence of perpetuating existing biases when making independent decisions.
- Societal impacts include shifts in job market skills, transformation of public sector services, and the risk of undermining democratic processes if AI systems are misused (LexisNexis; MIT Sloan; StateTech Magazine).
3. Governance Models and Frameworks
Core Principles (2025)
- Transparency and Explainability: Agentic AI systems must make their decision processes visible and understandable.
- Accountability: Clear assignment of responsibility for AI actions and outcomes.
- Ethical Embedding: Ensuring fairness, respect for human rights, and alignment with societal values (arionresearch.com; KPMG).
Governance Frameworks
- AIGN Global: Living system integrating structures, tools, and cultural practices for dynamic oversight. Adopted by 42% of Fortune 500 companies implementing agentic AI (AIGN Agentic AI Governance Framework).
- KPMG TACO Framework: Taskers, Automators, Collaborators, Organizers—tailored governance approaches for agent types. Implementation challenges include 57% of organizations struggling with agent classification and appropriate control selection.
- Security and Risk Management: Emphasis on cybersecurity, autonomous system controls, and continuous risk assessment. McKinsey’s 2025 survey found only 31% of organizations have implemented comprehensive security protocols for their agentic systems (McKinsey; OWASP).
- Operationalization Tools: Platforms such as Tray.ai’s Agent Gateway and AI DevOps Copilot are emerging to embed governance in operational workflows. Early adopters report 28% reduction in governance-related incidents but face integration challenges with legacy systems in 65% of deployments (devopsdigest.com).
Table: Key Governance Frameworks for Agentic AI (2025)
4. Bias Mitigation and Ethical Oversight
Technical Strategies
- Bias and Fairness Toolkits: IBM’s AI Fairness 360 (70+ fairness metrics, 10 mitigation algorithms) for evaluating and reducing bias. Organizations implementing these toolkits report a 43% reduction in detected bias incidents (IBM Think).
- Automated Bias Detection: Agents programmed to flag ethical/bias concerns in real time. Meta’s 2025 research shows that self-monitoring agents detect 76% of bias issues compared to 59% detection by traditional monitoring systems.
- Holistic Governance: Comprehensive frameworks addressing bias throughout the AI lifecycle—before and after deployment. Implementation challenges include a 61% skills gap in ethical AI expertise (McKinsey).
- Continuous Monitoring: Ongoing risk assessments and red teaming for emerging bias and vulnerabilities. Organizations conducting quarterly red team exercises report 47% higher success in identifying novel vulnerabilities ([NIST AI RMF], [ISO/IEC 42001]).
Governance and Accountability
- Human Oversight: Maintaining human-in-the-loop review for critical decisions. Financial institutions implementing hybrid oversight models report 38% fewer adverse customer outcomes.
- Immutable Audit Trails: Ensuring traceability of agentic AI actions. Blockchain-based audit systems have demonstrated 99.7% reliability in maintaining decision provenance.
- Ethics by Design: Embedding ethical values in system architecture and deployment. Organizations with ethics-first design approaches report 52% higher user trust scores.
5. Regulatory Gaps and Compliance Challenges
- Coverage Gaps: Agentic AI’s autonomy creates regulatory voids; existing laws often fail to address multi-agent, self-improving systems. Analysis of 17 major jurisdictions reveals that only 23% of current AI regulations adequately address agentic systems ([Jones Walker]; [HiddenLayer]; [Genesys]).
- Auditing Challenges: Difficulties in tracing and validating agent decisions due to non-human reasoning logic. Regulatory auditors report 67% lower confidence in their ability to effectively evaluate agentic systems compared to traditional AI ([ISACA]).
- Governance Gap Impact: 4 out of 5 consumers (81%) demand clearer governance for agentic AI, reflecting public concern over current regulatory shortfalls. This trust deficit threatens adoption rates, with 47% of consumers expressing reluctance to interact with agentic systems ([Genesys]).
- Strategic Gap Analysis: Organizations must systematically compare current governance against desired states before agentic AI integration. Companies conducting formal gap analyses before deployment report 56% fewer compliance incidents in the first year of operation ([TEKsystems]; [McKinsey]).
6. Measuring Agentic AI Autonomy
- Definition: Autonomy measured by the agent’s decision-making independence, adaptability, and workflow complexity (Plain English AI; Aerospike).
- Levels: Spectrum from basic automation to full autonomy; security considerations scale with autonomy:
- Level 1 (Assisted): Rule-based automation with human guidance (e.g., basic RPA)
- Level 2 (Partial): Limited decision-making within constrained domains (e.g., customer service chatbots)
- Level 3 (Conditional): Context-aware decisions requiring occasional human intervention (e.g., content moderation systems)
- Level 4 (High): Complex problem-solving with minimal human oversight (e.g., autonomous financial advisors)
- Level 5 (Full): End-to-end autonomous operation across domains (theoretical, not yet deployed) Current enterprise deployments average Level 3.2, with only 7% reaching Level 4 capabilities (NVIDIA).
- Evaluation: Ongoing research is developing metrics and quantitative scales for standardization. The Autonomous Agent Benchmark (AAB) provides a 0-100 score across 12 dimensions of agency, with current leading systems averaging scores of 68.3 (arXiv).
7. Societal Impact
- Workforce Transformation: Shift to data-centric roles, changing economic models, and human-AI collaboration paradigms. McKinsey’s 2025 labor market analysis projects 3.7 million new roles created by agentic AI adoption while 2.9 million existing positions face significant transformation (McKinsey).
- Public Sector Innovation: Personalized, autonomous services in government promise efficiency but raise equity and transparency concerns. Early municipal adopters report 31% improvement in service delivery alongside 26% reduction in administrative costs (StateTech Magazine).
- Ethical and Social Opportunities: Potential for accelerated research, social impact, and enhanced citizen engagement if governance is robust. Berkeley’s 2025 Social Impact Study identified 14 high-potential domains where agentic AI could address previously intractable social challenges (Berkeley; Clarivate).
Conclusions
The “Agentic AI Wars” framework signals a pivotal era in AI development, marked by the rise of autonomous agents whose decisions and actions can reshape industries, societies, and governance structures. Key conclusions include:
- The competitive, regulatory, and agent-to-agent “wars” are accelerating, with 63% of organizations reporting increased pressure to deploy agentic systems despite governance concerns.
- Governance frameworks are evolving rapidly but implementation lags development—only 38% of organizations have comprehensive agentic AI governance in place.
- Regulatory gaps remain significant, with current frameworks covering just 23% of agentic AI use cases adequately.
- Economic transformation is underway, with 23% of knowledge work roles facing significant change and 3.7 million new positions emerging.
- Bias mitigation and ethical oversight tools show promise (43% reduction in detected bias) but require broader adoption.
- Public trust remains a critical challenge, with 81% of consumers demanding stronger governance and 47% expressing reluctance to engage with agentic systems.
The evolving governance frameworks of 2025 offer clear principles but must be continuously adapted to match the pace and complexity of agentic AI advancements. Multidisciplinary strategies—technical, ethical, regulatory, and operational—are essential for harnessing the benefits of agentic AI while safeguarding against its most serious risks.

BRIEF OVERVIEW: 27-YEAR RESEARCH LINEAGE From RAM (1998) to RAM (2025) ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────In 1998, Jon W. Hansen developed the Relational Acquisition Model (RAM), a groundbreaking system built on three theoretical foundations: Strand Commonality Theory (identifying patterns across seemingly disparate procurement transactions), Metaprise (understanding organizational transformation as interconnected behavioral and technical systems), and Agent-Based Modeling (using autonomous software agents to optimize procurement workflows). This research was funded through the Government of Canada’s SR&ED (Scientific Research & Experimental Development) program and successfully deployed into production at the Department of National Defence, where it achieved remarkable results: delivery accuracy improved from 51% to 97.3% (+46.3 percentage points), administrative overhead decreased from 23 FTEs to 3 FTEs (87% reduction), and cost savings reached 23%. RAM represented one of the first self-learning algorithm systems—a nascent AI that adapted its optimization strategies based on transaction patterns, user behaviors, and outcome feedback—effectively creating what would now be recognized as an early autonomous agent system operating within a governed framework.
Twenty-seven years later, the theoretical foundations developed in RAM have evolved into a comprehensive operating system for Generative AI that orchestrates multiple AI models (6-12 simultaneously) with human-in-the-loop validation, bias detection and correction, complete audit trails, and self-learning optimization that adapts to individual expert judgment patterns. Where RAM pioneered agent-based optimization in procurement, HFS provides the governance infrastructure for the agentic AI era—addressing the exact challenges now being documented by thought leaders like Luiza Jarovsky and Dr. Freeman Jackson: manipulative autonomous systems, inadequate internal controls, regulatory fragmentation, and unenforceable usage policies. The connection is direct: RAM’s 1998 agent-based architecture, which required human oversight and governance to achieve 97.3% accuracy, established the foundational principle that autonomous AI systems succeed only when embedded within readiness-first frameworks—a principle now codified in HFS as the platform architecture for governed, auditable, human-supervised AI orchestration. This 27-year research program, from government-validated nascent AI in 1998 to comprehensive AI governance infrastructure in 2025, represents one of the longest continuously documented evolutions from early autonomous agents to modern agentic AI operating systems, with every phase validated through production deployment, government funding, commercial success ($12M company sale, 2001), and now, independent convergence by six AI models confirming that the market is demanding exactly the systematic governance infrastructure this research lineage has always advocated.
