Governance for Silicon-Based Digital Workers
When digital workers enter a company, governance expands from who did the work to who authorized it, who reviewed it, and what evidence remains.
The stronger digital workers become, the less a company can rely only on enthusiasm and speed. It needs governance: who can initiate work, who grants access, which outputs require review, and how failures escalate.
Human employees are managed through roles, processes, and performance. Silicon-based digital workers need comparable structures, expressed as task boundaries, tool boundaries, evidence boundaries, and publication boundaries.
This is not meant to slow innovation. It is what allows innovation to enter daily operations. If a system cannot be governed, it is hard for owners to depend on it as infrastructure.
