The Costly Road

The voluntary winding-up (<i>liquidation volontaire</i>) of a corporation is one of the many, though expensive, options available to shareholders wishing to withdraw from a corporation facing financial difficulties. Other options include the sale of their stake or of the corporation itself, possibly following a restructuring. The corporation may be sold as a whole or, where these exist, through the divestment of one or more branches of activity. The transaction may then be effected through various share deals for the different subsidiaries, or through the sale of assets, subsequent to which the corporation will still have to be wound up. A lease of business (<i>location g'rance</i>) followed by the sale of the business may also be an option.

Agentic AI introduces risks that are novel and complex, but the most effective response is a familiar one. Zero Trust answers the problem of when an AI agent misfires on its own by constraining what an agent can do rather than betting on how it will behave.
