Описание:AI agents are no longer just tools—they’re actors. Are we ready for the society they’re building?
Across industries and institutions, a new class of autonomous digital agents is quietly reshaping the foundations of human society. These AI systems negotiate contracts, manage infrastructure, make medical decisions, and even represent individuals in financial transactions—often without our awareness or consent. In Agent Nation, Chirag Shah reveals how these agents are forming a parallel system of influence and control, governed not by human values but by algorithmic logic.
This is not another book about job displacement or data privacy. It’s a bold, clear-eyed examination of how AI agents are becoming independent participants in our economies, governments, and personal lives—and what that means for human autonomy. Drawing on cutting-edge research and real-world case studies from boardrooms to city halls, Shah exposes the growing accountability gap and offers a pragmatic roadmap for reclaiming agency in an increasingly agentic world.
With frameworks for democratic AI governance, ethical design principles for personal AI agents, and strategies for economic justice in the age of algorithmic intermediaries, Agent Nation equips professionals, policymakers, and technologists with the tools to ensure AI serves human interests—not the other way around.
Whether you're leading digital transformation, shaping public policy, or simply navigating life in a world run by artificial agents, this book is your essential guide to understanding—and influencing—the future of intelligent autonomy.
