## AI overview

This opinion article argues that enterprise data architectures traditionally relied on human involvement as an implicit safeguard. Delays, approvals and handoffs helped absorb errors, create audit points and limit the speed of changes. Agentic AI can close the feedback loop at machine speed, potentially removing those protections along with the human decision point.

## Source excerpt

Classic enterprise data architecture had an implicit safeguard built into it. The human in the loop provided error absorption, audit accretion and natural rate-limiting - none of which were ever specified. Agentic AI removes the human. It removes all of those protections simultaneously.
