At this point an agent without the human factor will not do anything by itself, and designers are directors, though that may change with more sophisticated AI and robots.

agency Acting on the world rather than waiting: what it does for work, whether it can be learned, and whether AI widens or takes it.

design How things should be made and judged: what makes a design good, who should do the designing, and what an interface is for.

AI agents Agents beyond the editor: software that acts on your behalf, and what independence it should be given.

robotics Machines that act in the world: humanoids, training data for robots, and how far behind language models they run.
