Claims / C-CEPWEB64D9

Normative

The variable to govern is how much control passes to the machine, not how smart it is. Malone orders machine roles as tool, assistant, peer and manager by how much control the machine holds, and one system can be its owner's assistant and everyone else's peer. A collective should move an agent up that ladder one rung at a time, on its record.

    People have the most control when machines act only as tools, and machines have successfully more control as their roles expand to assistants, peers, and finally, managers.
