**The Ethics of AI Agency: Responsibility When Machines Act Autonomously**
As AI agents execute increasingly complex actions, the lines of legal and moral responsibility blur. Who answers for an agent’s decisions? How do we assign blame or reward? Tsuka’s philosophy argues that digital sovereignty extends to the accountability and stewardship structures we create for autonomous machines.
**Key Takeaways:**
