Organisation
Responsibility Architecture
DE: Verantwortungsarchitektur
The deliberately designed order that makes visible who is accountable for which decision — and where responsibility cannot be delegated.
Responsibility architecture is the structure that makes visible who carries which decision, on what basis, and towards whom that responsibility is owed — independently of who or what technically produced the result.
Context
The more work is prepared by systems, the more explicit responsibility has to be designed. Responsibility architecture keeps decisions attributable and is a precondition for credible AI governance.

Nicht alles, was durch AI schneller wird, wird dadurch besser. Warum Automatisierung ohne Architektur beschleunigte Unklarheit erzeugt.
