Anyone who's worked in tech in a large company will probably have experienced having an ops team who use RPA tools to do repetitive tasks that tech teams get the blame for when things break. AI will make this so much worse. Things will break, everyone will assume 'tech knows the system', but really it's a new process outside of the tech teams that someone vibe coded but got it wrong.

Audit trails, logs, and tight data governance where things can only be accessed with proper roles is the only possible solution.

If an RPA team ever gets direct access to a production database in your company, look for a new job.
