However, the concept of AI agents isn't new. Multi-step systems have been used within academia and in targeted places in high-tech industries for decades. The controversial idea in agentic AI is when an LLM is used as the main reasoning part with no clear way to govern the system. No matter what models make up your agentic system, you will need a strategic AI governance plan with specific capabilities and expertise. [5 governance considerations for agentic ai](https://www.monitaur.ai/blog-posts/top-5-governance-considerations-for-agentic-ai) --- ## How to build agentic AI systems the right way Now that you’ve read about how to manage agentic AI, you might be wondering if there’s a way to build these systems more effectively from the start? You’re in luck. Listen to these four podcasts and gain an understanding of how to build and govern agentic AI systems. [![Mechanism design_Building smarter AI agents Part 1](https://info.monitaur.ai/hubfs/Mechanism%20design_Building%20smarter%20AI%20agents%20Part%201.png "Mechanism design_Building smarter AI agents Part 1")](https://www.monitaur.ai/podcast/mechanism-design-building-smarter-ai-agents-from-the-fundamentals-part-1) What if we've been approaching AI agents all wrong? While the tech world obsesses over large language models (LLMs) and prompt engineering, there's a foundational approach that could revolutionize how we build trustworthy AI systems: mechanism design.
