Abstract
Enterprise adoption of Generative AI (GenAI) and agentic, tool-using AI systems is accelerating faster than the governance controls designed to contain them. Autonomous agents that plan, retrieve, and invoke tools across legacy enterprise systems introduce risk profiles that traditional deterministic-software governance was never built to address, including prompt injection, unauthorized tool invocation, sensitive-data exfiltration, and unpredictable or hallucinated outputs feeding into business decisions. This paper synthesizes established security, risk-management, and regulatory literature into a single, practically applicable Enterprise GenAI Governance Model (EGGM), a five-pillar reference architecture intended to help organizations balance innovation velocity against multi-dimensional algorithmic risk. Building on the conceptual EGGM architecture, this revised edition adds an illustrative empirical validation study using a simulated survey dataset (N = 248) analyzed with reliability, validity, and PLS-SEM-style structural path techniques comparable to those conducted in SmartPLS, R, or SPSS/AMOS, to demonstrate how the framework's pillars could be operationalized and tested as a measurable nomological network. The paper's contribution remains primarily architectural and analytical: the empirical section is explicitly a simulated proof-of-concept for the measurement and validation approach, not a disclosed field study, since no public, controlled longitudinal dataset of enterprise agentic-AI incidents yet exists.
