Accountability Asymmetry and Structural Trust in Autonomous AI Systems
arXiv:2608.03670v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous AI systems (such as AI agents) are increasingly being delegated operational work across scientific-computing infrastructure. Their assignments may begin with preparing an input or routing an alert and extend to changing a configuration or submitting a job. That delegation creates a practical trust problem because the institutional logic that lets us trust human operators does not transfer to optimization-based systems. A bad decision can
