Kiran Yenaganti

Founder · AI Governance Researcher

I build runtime governance for autonomous AI agents.

My work focuses on how agents act, when they need human approval, and how to verify their results. I explore these questions through DataGovernAI and the HOMININI prototype.

HOMININI

Testing how AI workflows account for the work they report.

A report said more than the evidence supported.

While developing HOMININI, I found that its verifier accepted added claims such as “all tests passed,” even though the workflow had not established them. I repaired that path and added targeted regression tests.

01 / Problem

An unsupported claim passed.

The report could include a success statement without the evidence to justify it.

02 / Intervention

Repair the verification path.

Add negative tests for the specific claims that had been accepted.

03 / Result

The tested additions are rejected.

Local regression tests support this repair. Broader verification remains an open problem.

Evidence-Bound Runtime Governance for Autonomous Multi-Agent AI Systems

Policy Enforcement, Monitoring, and Risk-Based Human Escalation

An action can be permitted and still rely on incomplete or outdated information. My manuscript examines how evidence checks and human escalation can guide an agent at execution time.

U.S. patent applicationFiled July 15, 2025

Governed multi-agent workflows

Application no. 19/269,037 · Patent application, not a granted patent

The application describes an architecture for coordinating specialized agents with real-time data integration, governance checks, audit records, and fallback mechanisms. It grew out of the virtual leasing use case that first drew me to this problem.

In January 2019, I left India at 22. It was my first flight.

I wanted to build something of my own. That ambition took shape in Techworkify, a technology staffing business through HyperLedger OÜ in Estonia.

COVID and travel restrictions interrupted those plans. I later studied Entrepreneurship & Innovation at Hult in San Francisco and founded DataGovernAI LLC in 2025.

My interest in AI governance grew from a leasing-assistant concept. Looking up availability and scheduling a tour sounded straightforward. But what if the data was old, or an agent needed approval before making a commitment?

Those practical questions led to my patent application and research into multi-agent systems. HOMININI is where I test parts of that thinking, alongside my doctoral studies and independent research.
