Redrawing the AI Map: A Theory of Accountability Boundaries in Agentic Ecosystems
The paper titled 'Redrawing the AI Map' explores accountability boundaries in agentic ecosystems. It introduces a capability-level theory that examines how accountability can be maintained even as AI capabilities become modular. The authors propose strategies for boundary placement and discuss the implications for governance in digital environments.
- ▪The paper develops a theory of accountability-boundary placement in agentic ecosystems.
- ▪It introduces the concept of accountability assets that ensure AI outputs are legitimate and auditable.
