Human Accountability Cannot Be Delegated
Category: AI & Automation Principles
Principle Intent
Humans retain accountability for decisions and outcomes even when AI systems perform the work. Delegation of tasks does not transfer responsibility for results.
How to Apply This Principle
This principle is part of the Entrowise Principles Library and is used in the PPA Method to diagnose recurring delivery problems and develop principle-aligned actions. When this principle is violated, delivery teams often experience recurring symptoms that resist solution because the root cause—the violated principle—is never addressed directly.
