Pareekh Jain, CEO of Pareekh Consulting, took a middle view, saying the approaches are both complementary and competitive, especially as enterprises using both Microsoft and Google may find AI governance becoming more closely tied to each vendor’s underlying platform.
Risks left to resolve
The new controls may give enterprises better visibility into AI agents, but analysts said they do not eliminate bigger risks related to shadow AI, third-party integrations, and accountability for autonomous actions.
According to Jain, shadow AI agents can still emerge through developer tools, browser extensions, local assistants, SaaS copilots, and unsanctioned tool connections. Third-party integrations, he said, could also expand faster than security teams can validate them.
