Simon Willison从苹果DRI概念切入，指出AI智能体无法担责，还搬出IBM 1979年的经典训诫，对团队管理者很有启发。
DRI概念源自苹果，用于指定对项目成败负有最终责任的人。GitLab手册将其定义为“直接责任个人”。作者Simon Willison认为LLM驱动的智能体不应担任DRI，因为只有人类才能承担问责。他引用IBM 1979年的培训幻灯片，强调计算机绝不能做管理决策。
Directly Responsible Individuals (DRI)
Directly Responsible Individuals (DRI) I went looking for a definition of "Directly Responsible Individuals" and the best I found was in the GitLab handbook. Apparently the term originated at Apple, where it's used to describe the person who is "ultimately accountable for the success or failure of a specific project, initiative, or activity". I've been thinking about this term recently in the context of LLM-powered agents and how they fit into human organizations. I don't think an agent should ever be considered the DRI for a project - that's something that feels uniquely human to me, because humans can take accountability for their actions where machines cannot. (See also IBM's legendary 1979 training slide that states "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.")
