Our position
Accountability cannot be delegated to an agent.
Tasks and even role-work can be delegated; the answerability for the outcome cannot. A named human remains accountable for what ships — that floor is where seniority now lives.
Everyone says
If the agent did it, the agent (or the tool) is responsible.
We think
Accountability is not a task and cannot be handed to a system; a named human owns the outcome.
What we’ve observed
- Vibe-coding research documents "responsibility gaps"; professional-accountability analogues hold responsibility cannot be delegated to an algorithm.
Confidence: Established
