IT Admin for the AI Workforce — Sarthak Aggarwal, Decawork
Enterprises need IT admin infrastructure to govern AI agents as a second human-like workforce
“if you're not a little scared to run your agent, your agent probably is not autonomous enough”
Decawork co-founder Sarthak Aggarwal argues enterprises are shifting from buying software to onboarding AI agents as operational actors with delegated authority, real tool access, and side effects — requiring full identity, access control, audit, and revocation infrastructure. The core insight is that a working demo proves capability but not 'employment readiness,' and the real engineering challenge is making autonomous agents safe to govern, not just capable. This frames agentic AI deployment as an IT/HR problem as much as an AI problem, with implications for enterprise security, compliance, and governance tooling.
