Kyndryl rolled out a new “policy-as-code” feature on Wednesday, aiming to enforce organizational and regulatory rules directly in software for agentic AI—autonomous systems that handle tasks in fields like finance, supply chains, and government. The company says it translates complex business and compliance rules into machine-readable instructions, tracking every action taken by these AI agents and stopping any unauthorized moves. “The approach provides the structure customers need” to work with agentic AI, according to Ismail Amla, senior vice president at Kyndryl Consult. Regulatory and compliance worries remain a top obstacle for 31% of Kyndryl’s customers looking to ramp up tech spending, the firm said, noting it orchestrates close to 190 million automations monthly.
