Agents are moving into the seats workers actually sit in — and into the legal exposure that comes with them

Two stories ran on the same day from opposite ends of the agent deployment curve. Anthropic and MoEngage shipped the infrastructure to put agents inside the seats where decisions about employees and customers actually get made. A federal judge in San Francisco told the largest HR software vendor in the country that designing those agents from California means California discrimination law follows the agent wherever it acts. The shape of the day is a widening gap between deployment velocity and accountability velocity — and the buyers who close that gap deliberately, in contracts and audit logs, will own the next eighteen months. The ones who don't will discover that "the vendor did it" is no longer a defense.
