The Age of Agents: Managing "Shadow AI" in Procurement

The Age of Agents: Managing "Shadow AI" in Procurement

"Just because you can build an AI agent in five minutes, doesn't mean you should use it for enterprise procurement."


In this episode, Josh Earley joins the team for a deep dive into the often-overlooked but critical topic of AI governance. As employees start bringing their own AI tools to work, procurement faces a new wave of "shadow AI" risks—from unapproved contracts to broken workflows.


Josh, Natasha, and Zach discuss how to build guardrails without stifling innovation and what the rise of autonomous agents means for the future of sourcing.

You'll learn:

✔️ The "Shadow AI" Threat: Why "citizen developers" building unapproved workflows create massive risk for procurement .

✔️ The 150-Question RFP Problem: How suppliers will use AI to spam massive RFPs with unverified "AI slop" .

✔️ Governance 101: Josh's advice to "start small" by aligning Legal and Technology to build a policy framework .


✔️ Knowledge as a Commodity: A philosophical look at what happens when human expertise is uploaded into models .
