- Authorization and audit trails becoming compliance requirement
- Need to prove why agent took specific action
The hook

As artificial intelligence agents move from experimental tools into production systems, enterprise governance is being forced to answer a harder question. It is no longer enough to know what an agent did. Organizations increasingly need to prove what the agent was authorized to do, why it was allowe…
