AI agents need governance for production, not just capability

An AI agent's transition from a mere capability to a reliable production system hinges on governance rather than just feature count. This involves moving beyond simple tool use and workflow automation to a state of "governed production," where outputs have clear provenance, assets accumulate under review, and human semantic responsibility is explicit. A production-theory view breaks down agent systems into six subsystems: task process, means of production, tool boundary, human organization, runtime environment, and reproduction. Trust is built through an exact evidence chain, verifying sources, quotes, and their context, with machines governing form and humans governing meaning and consequence. AI

IMPACT Establishes a framework for evaluating and deploying AI agents in production environments, emphasizing governance and trust.
