Autonomy
Domain: Agent Fundamentals
🎯 Motivation
The degree to which an agent can operate without human intervention. More autonomy = more useful but also more risk.
📋 Concrete Example
Level 0: suggests actions for human approval. Level 5: takes actions independently. Most practical agents are Level 2-3: act with guardrails.
🔗 Analogy
A self-driving car - Level 0 is cruise control, Level 5 is fully autonomous. Most current driving assistants are Level 2-3. Same spectrum applies to AI agents.
