Manulife's Global CAIO Jodie Wallis and Akka CEO Tyler Jewell discuss why embedding governance into agentic AI systems from day one — rather than bolting it on later — is the key to reaching production faster. Key themes include regulatory pressure from ~175 global AI regulations (EU AI Act enforcement imminent, penalties up to $35M), the need for real-time explainability and system control, and cost governance as a critical but overlooked challenge. Manulife moved workloads like underwriting quick quotes onto Akka, achieving 30–50% faster processing and up to 300% more concurrency as part of a $1B AI-driven value commitment.
