A proposed construct of AI Economics Hub.
Glossary entry
Autonomy ladder
A five-rung scale for how much authority an AI system has in a workflow: assist, recommend, act with approval, act within policy, and self-optimise. Autonomy should follow impact, reversibility and evidence, not the novelty of the model.
Why it matters
It turns the question of how much AI can be left to do into a question about proof, with high-impact and hard-to-reverse decisions staying with humans.
