AI Employees

Your next colleague could be digital.

AI employees are specialised digital roles with an assignment, capabilities, knowledge access and escalation paths.

From a tool to a defined role.

An AI employee is an organisational description for one or more agents with a bounded function. Names such as Research Agent describe digital roles, not natural persons or employment relationships.

What a digital role can be designed to do.

The scope is defined for each organisation and process.

perform a defined task
use approved knowledge and systems
hand work to other agents
prepare or decide within explicit boundaries
escalate uncertainty to people
improve under controlled change

People lead the digital organisation.

Management and business owners set objectives, grant permissions, review sensitive outcomes and decide on exceptions.
