Agents will need to be easy to program and use in a variety of contexts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reliability: <\/strong>AI agents must be carefully designed and equipped with guardrails to ensure the clear and smooth handoff of projects and tasks to humans, as well as to minimize, flag, and correct hallucinations. Careful engineering and robust testing are required to ensure the accuracy and reliability of agents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fluency across domains: <\/strong>AI agents will interact with users and third parties inside and outside of organizations, retrieving, interpreting, and acting on different types of information across these domains. This requires advanced programming and thoughtful integration of business processes and data systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transparency and explainability: <\/strong>Users need to know when they are interacting with an AI agent instead of a human. Regulators and the public will also want to know how AI agents went about doing their jobs to ensure they did so accurately and in a trustworthy way. Systems ensuring full transparency and explainability, therefore, will be required for any agentic AI deployment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accountability: <\/strong>To ensure accountability, it is important to clearly define who&#8217;s responsible for ensuring the agent functions properly and delivers trusted outputs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Data governance and privacy: <\/strong>AI agents may require access to personal or other sensitive data to complete their assigned tasks. For users and enterprises to trust AI agents, they will have to operate with high standards of privacy and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/platform\/data-security\/what-is-data-security\/?d=cta-body-promo-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">data security<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Security: <\/strong>Like other AI applications, agents may be vulnerable to adversarial attacks, where malicious inputs are designed to deceive the AI into producing bad outputs. As AI agents take on increasingly complex tasks, adhering to best practices for AI safety and quality control will be essential.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ethics: <\/strong>Companies that use AI agents should establish and follow ethical use guidelines. This will require developing new protocols and norms for autonomous AI systems, fostering effective human-AI collaboration while building consensus and confidence in decision-making processes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Agent-to-agent interactions: <\/strong>Common protocols and standards will be important to instill trust and help ensure controlled, predictable, and accountable agentic behavior. Fundamental to this is a secure information exchange environment and, when relevant, audit trails of agent-to-agent interactions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"more-from-block more-from-block--2
