AI agents are coming. But who's in control?

@meg , one of the best researchers in AI ethics, makes a critical point about autonomy: fully autonomous systems carry unknowable risks because they operate on computer logic rather than human logic.

The solution? Build systems that support & assist rather than override human decisions.

I highly recommend reading the blog post written by Meg, @evijit @sasha and @giadap . They define different levels of agent autonomy & provide a values-based analysis of risks, benefits, and uses of AI agents to help you make better decisions.

🔥 The AI Agent hype is real! This blog post deep dives into everything you need to know before deploying them: from key definitions to practical recommendations. A must-read for anyone building the future of autonomous systems.

📊 Key insight: A clear table breaking down the 5 levels of AI agents - from simple processors to fully autonomous systems. Essential framework for understanding where your agent stands on the autonomy spectrum

⚖️ Deep analysis of 15 core values reveals critical trade-offs: accuracy, privacy, safety, equity & more. The same features that make agents powerful can make them risky. Understanding these trade-offs is crucial for responsible deployment

🎯 6 key recommendations for the road ahead:
- Create rigorous evaluation protocols
- Study societal effects
- Understand ripple effects
- Improve transparency
- Open source can make a positive difference
- Monitor base model evolution
