Constraining AI within institutional limits","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Ravi S.

It is whether you can still intervene.\u003cbr\u003eHow do we govern what we cannot see or slow down?\u003cbr\u003eOrganizations operate with unprecedented analytical sophistication, yet continue to be\u003cbr\u003eblindsided, as responsibility becomes harder to locate.\u003cbr\u003eBounded Agency explains why.\u003cbr\u003eAs delegated AI agency scales, organizations encounter a new limit - not of\u003cbr\u003eintelligence, but of authority. Execution remains flawless, but authority is no longer\u003cbr\u003ereclaimable. The organization becomes a spectator to its own decisions.\u003cbr\u003eThe book introduces the Bounded Agency Limit, showing how control is lost even as\u003cbr\u003eperformance improves. Through the archetypes of TARZ (AI within Bounded\u003cbr\u003eAgency by design) and VIKKY (unbounded AI), it traces the silent migration of authority\u003cbr\u003eand the collapse of real-time governability.\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides a practical framework: \u003cbr\u003e● Authority Boundaries - enforced, not merely policy-defined\u003cbr\u003e● Intervention Rights - time-feasible and legitimate\u003cbr\u003e● Accountability Mapping - aligned with intervention capacity\u003cbr\u003eThese institutional primitives must be architecturally complemented with the\u003cbr\u003etechnical mechanisms that make governance real at execution speed.\u003cbr\u003eBuild TARZ or drift toward VIKKY.\u003cbr\u003eBounded Agency in AI Systems does not emerge. It must be designed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spines","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890915557527,"sku":"9798904186319","price":4373.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798904186319.webp?v=1781181771","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bounded-agency-who-is-in-control-in-the-age-of-ai-constraining-ai-within-institutional-limits-9798904186319","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
