Redrawing the AI Map: A Theory of Accountability Boundaries in Agentic Ecosystems

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2605.23179v1 Announce Type: new Agentic AI orchestrators reduce the interface and assembly costs of composing information systems capabilities across organizational boundaries, seemingly accelerating modularization and organizational disaggregation. Yet AI-enabled capabilities whose outputs require evidence, review, signoff, or assignable responsibility may retain integrated accountability boundaries even when their technical interfaces become modular. We develop a capability-level theory of accountability-boundary placement in agentic ecosystems. We.
