Accountability must always stay with humans. Agents execute logic, but people approve and act. If responsibility is shifted to the system, organizations lose the ability to learn from mistakes.

This is why governance frameworks should clearly define decision ownership. High-impact decisions should require explicit human sign-off, regardless of agent confidence.
