Published in AI and Ethics: From Assistants to Agents

Published in AI and Ethics, this article explores how increasingly agentic AI systems require a rethinking of human agency, oversight, and responsibility through a relational framework for human–AI co-agency.

I’m pleased to share that my research article, “From Assistants to Agents: A Relational Framework for Human–AI Co-Agency,” has now been published online in AI and Ethics.

This paper addresses a central question of our time: as artificial intelligence systems evolve from assistive tools into increasingly agentic systems, how should we rethink human agency, delegated autonomy, oversight, and responsibility?

The article develops a relational framework for human–AI co-agency and argues that accountability must remain grounded in human and institutional governance, even when AI systems assume greater initiative in complex sociotechnical environments.

This publication marks an important step in my ongoing independent research journey at the intersection of AI ethics, philosophy of technology, and governance.
