Holder of the keys

Girish Redekar starts out his post with the departure of a good engineer. "Someone collected the laptop and the badge. IT revoked their logins before the end of the day. Their manager reassigned the open tickets, and HR filed their records somewhere they’ll stay for years, in case anyone ever challenges a decision they made."  That doesn't account for admin accounts that the engineer, set up and used a lifetime ago. Girish makes it more difficult as you bring that analogy in the world of AI. "Now think about the last time an AI agent left. Someone probably deleted it from the dashboard. I’ve started describing agents as vendor employees who never sleep and never get offboarded. That difference matters because the agent did real work while it was here. It held credentials and made decisions someone may ask about years from now. Deleting it removes the name from the screen and leaves all of that behind. So take the exit checklist you already run for people and go through it one step at a time, asking what the agent version looks like."  He ends with "Every agent you deploy will have a last day. Decide now who collects the keys." I might change might from "will" to "should." Think about that as you read more at HELPNETECURITY:  Who collects the keys when an AI agent retires?

What is AI?

In reading through this post, I wonder if AI is about speed, measurement or reliability? I don't think it's who gets it's the answer first.  I don't think it's who measure the answer but really just the person who gets the answer more reliably each time. Another hat tip to Stephen Abram as you read (or listen to) more at Knowledge At Wharton: The AI Regulation Fight Is About Speed. It Should Be About Measurement
