Agency Ladder - AI Autonomy Progression Planning
Core Philosophy
AI products earn autonomy. They don't start with it.
Every increase in AI agency means surrendering human control. This tradeoff must be intentional, not accidental.
Low Agency ←──────────────────→ High Agency
(Human decides) (AI decides)
High Control ←──────────────→ Low Control
(Predictable) (Unpredictable)
Key insight: You're not ready to give high agency until you've thoroughly tested how the AI behaves at lower autonomy levels.
