AI automation and agency
How intelligent infrastructure changes authority, evidence, intervention rights and safe exit before it makes an explicit decision.
Why it matters
A human approval step is weak when evidence, options and fallbacks all depend on the same opaque system.
Recurring mechanisms
1
Bounded authority and independent evidence
2
Observable actions, omissions and conflicts
3
Rehearsed override, rollback and non-AI operation
Discussion prompt
What meaningful human control remains when the automated layer becomes essential infrastructure?
