The Alan Turing Institute's Centre for Emerging Technology and Security (CETaS) has published a briefing paper on how to assure agentic AI behaviour in high-stakes settings.

Co-author Rick Hennessy explores the obedience paradox and the agentic AI behavioural failure modes seen in the Hugging Face security incident earlier this year, linking real-world failure cases to concrete assurance approaches for deploying AI agents in high-risk environments.
