Description: The ‘Human Agency’ refers to the capacity of individuals to act independently and make their own decisions. This concept is fundamental in the ethics of artificial intelligence (AI), as it raises questions about control, autonomy, and responsibility in an increasingly automated world. Agency implies that people are not mere recipients of imposed information or decisions, but have the power to influence their environment and the technologies they use. In the context of AI, human agency becomes a critical issue, as automated decisions can significantly affect people’s lives. Preserving human agency is essential to ensure that technologies are used in ways that respect individuals’ dignity and rights. Furthermore, human agency is related to individuals’ ability to understand and evaluate the implications of decisions made by AI systems, highlighting the importance of education and transparency in the development and implementation of these technologies.
