Agents scale execution. Responsibility still needs a seat.

The operating question.

Agents scale execution. Responsibility still needs a seat.

Agents can take on execution, but they cannot take on accountability. The missing seat is the human or operating role that owns review, escalation, exception handling, and proof.

What responsibility means.

• Who approved the agent path?
• Who reviews material outputs?
• Who owns failure modes and exceptions?
• Which evidence proves the agent stayed inside policy and workflow boundaries?

Operating rule.

Before an autonomous output becomes the record, the responsibility seat must be named and evidenced.
