Are AI Agents Getting Capable Faster Than We're Learning to Control Them?
Informal-Dust4499 · reddit · 2026-09-26
A Reddit discussion argues that agent development is optimizing capability while governance lags behind: as agents gain real action power (refunds, CRM updates), the hard questions become permission boundaries, escalation rules on ambiguous requests, conflicting policies, wrong-parameter API calls, and post-hoc auditability. The author calls for dedicated infrastructure around permissions, guardrails, action limits, audit trails, monitoring, rollback, and accountability, and asks whether teams build governance into the agent, wrap a control layer around it, or just rely on prompts and tool permissions in production.
