HOW WILL WE VIEW AN AI AGENT IN THE CONTEXT OF HUMANS OR “USERS”

• [Who] How is an AI agent represented in the context of a person, a group, an organization? 
• [What] How will we audit Agent created data or content? Will we need a way to label Agent-created information?
• [Where] Will we have agents that are focused on non-human-interactions (e.g. optimizations) vs. human-interactions (e.g. empathy)?
• [When] Are today’s auth systems able to manage AI agents, or will they need to be re-engineered to deal with different scale, granularity of actions?
• [Why] Why will we choose an Agent (as the implementation) over another form or working on a problem?
