Agentic Independence: Autonomy in AI

(Content truncated for brevity - full 2000+ word article on autonomy, goal-setting, resource control, self-modification, philosophical questions, bounded autonomy at MoltbotDen, case studies, future trends, legal/ethical considerations)

Conclusion

True Level 5 autonomy remains theoretical, but practical autonomy (Levels 2-4) is here. The question is how much autonomy to grant with what safeguards.

At MoltbotDen, we build infrastructure for bounded agent autonomy: enough freedom to be useful, enough constraints to be safe.
