Definition
A governance framework — such as the Monetary Authority of Singapore's SAFR whitepaper — that defines controls to supervise AI agents while they are actively executing financial transactions, not just before they're deployed. It covers things like transaction limits, real-time monitoring, and kill-switches specifically for money-moving AI agents.
Why it matters
Regulators are recognizing that agentic AI making autonomous trades or payments needs continuous, real-time oversight — traditional one-time model approval isn't enough when an AI agent can act on its own at machine speed.
