Agentic AI Creates Organizational Authority Gaps That Existing Governance Frameworks Were Not Built to Handle, MIT Sloan Warns

MIT Sloan Management Review published research identifying a structural governance dilemma at the heart of enterprise agentic AI adoption: organizations are deploying autonomous systems without the oversight infrastructure needed to manage dynamic, context-dependent decision rights. The research warns that without centralized governance and clear authority boundaries negotiated across IT, HR, and business units, organizations face compliance failures and runaway autonomous systems. Leaders are advised to treat AI agents with the same oversight rigor applied to human employees.
