Who owns AI agents in production? Reddit debates ownership and accountability
akaya_strategy · reddit · 2026-09-11
The poster asks: once AI agents go beyond demos and touch real workflows—reading internal docs, calling tools/APIs, affecting business processes, measured against operational KPIs—who owns them in production? Candidates include IT, data/AI, the business team, platform/engineering, security/governance, or a dedicated AI ops role.
The harder question is accountability: when something goes wrong, who investigates, changes the workflow, evaluates the agent, and decides if it stays deployed? The poster wants answers from people running agents in real company workflows: what has actually worked, and where does ownership still break down?
