Summary
The article describes how the arrival of AI agents is transforming the role of the IT department in companies. Beyond managing applications, the IT department must now manage a portfolio of agents: defining their owner, access rights, technical identity and conditions for withdrawal. It must also set the limits of these agents' autonomy, according to the criticality and reversibility of the actions they can take, by formalising escalation thresholds and human validations. The article stresses the need to measure agent behaviour over time together with the business teams (processing time, quality, errors, human interventions, cost), rather than technical indicators alone. This transformation calls for close collaboration between the IT department and business teams, as well as an evolution in the skills of teams and managers.
