AI and Automation Risk: Tech Assets Need Expiration Dates, Says Expert

Akhilesh Sharma, founder and CEO of A3logics, argues that enterprise technology, particularly AI agents and automations, faces a silent risk of persisting long after its original purpose or organizational context has vanished. He proposes implementing an 'expiration' control, where every technology asset is assigned a time-to-live (TTL) upon creation. Continued operation would then require periodic re-attestation by a designated owner, proving ongoing relevance, valid permissions, and acceptable outcomes, with more critical systems needing more frequent reviews.

IMPACT Suggests a new governance model for AI agents and automations to prevent technical debt and security risks.
