Atlassian CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes made the point bluntly: “the accountability is with Mike,” meaning the end user, not a shrug at “the AI did it.” His reference to the Oct. 6 rollout of an “Agentic Multiplayer Protocol” signals what enterprises actually need next: audit trails where agent contributions show up in document history with attributable edits, not vague logs.
