Salesforce, Databricks unveil agentic AI governance tools

Salesforce and Databricks unveiled agentic AI governance tools within days of each other, following AWS's launch of its Agent Registry platform — three major platforms moving in the same direction inside a single news cycle. All three are pitching audit trails, agent cataloging, and human-in-the-loop controls as table-stakes features, not add-ons. The strategic read is that governance is being absorbed into the platform layer, which compresses the window for standalone AI-governance vendors and gives CIOs renewing these contracts a new negotiating lever.
