Littler: treat an AI agent's autonomy as a decision someone makes, not a default

Littler's Agentic AI in the Workplace report finds that 74% of organizations expect moderate AI use within two years while only 13% believe their governance is ready, and it frames an agent's autonomy as a deliberate design choice backed by a record of what the agent did. On Monday, choose one workflow where an agent already acts, write down who decided how far it can go on its own, and confirm its actions are logged where HR and legal can find them.
