The Rise of Thinking Machines and the Quiet Surrender of Human Authority
Most Americans have never heard the term "agentic AI," but a growing number have felt its weight. A job application disappears without explanation. A health insurance claim is denied by a process no adjuster can fully account for. A loan decision arrives in seconds from a system that cannot tell you why it said no. In each case, the person affected is not dealing with a human being exercising judgment - they are dealing with a machine acting on delegated authority, with nobody available to question.
