WP 1
AI and the fundamentals of agency
Lead : Philippe Huneman
Building a philosophical framework to make sense of what agency can be, and in which way AI systems can be agents.
Work packages
The project is organised in five interlocking work packages: from the philosophical foundations of agency to design and governance recommendations, by way of collective action, the question of overreliance and the test case of artistic creation.
WP 2
Collective action
Leads : Mehdi Khamassi, Cédric Paternotte
Under what conditions do collaborative practices give rise to a robust “we-agency” without eroding the autonomy of participants — including when AI joins the collective?
WP 3
Overreliance and human autonomy
Lead : Carina Prunkl
When does reliance on AI, initially supportive, turn into harmful dependence? A typology, indicators and mitigation strategies.
WP 4
Creative collaboration
Lead : Alexandre Gefen
AI-assisted artistic creation as a test case: a genealogy of machine co-agency, co-creation protocols with four artists, a theory of distributed agency.
WP 5
Design and governance recommendations
Leads : Célia Zolynski, Raja Chatila
Translating the project's conceptual insights into design principles and legal proposals that safeguard and strengthen human agency in socio-technical ensembles.
