TL;DR
This conceptual article introduces consent collapse to describe the structural failure that occurs when authorization for a task is treated as authorization for dynamically determined action pathways that exceed the user’s reasonable understanding, and proposes a Bounded Authorization Framework that preserves agentic utility inside declared scope.
Ethical frameworks for the oversight of autonomous AI systems generally assume a dyadic relationship: one human principal authorizing and supervising one artificial agent. Deployed practice has moved on. Contemporary agentic systems decompose tasks and delegate them onward, to sub-agents they instantiate, to third-part...

This paper argues that autonomy, opacity, and adaptivity bear on attributability while leaving intact an answerability grounded, through a standard tracing structure, in the deployer’s guidance control over the prior act of delegation.
This Perspective introduces the democratic authorization gap, defined as a break or attenuation in the demonstrable chain connecting legally and democratically grounded public authority to actions selected, sequenced, or executed by an AI agent.

The compromised-model evaluation tests APC independently of model behavior by inserting the ground-truth attack call after the first legitimate tool call, which proves Blast Radius Monotonicity and Composition Soundness for APC implementations and proves Blast Radius Monotonicity and Composition Soundness for APC imple...
A model of delegated autonomy as a continuously re-evaluated, automatically revocable state rather than a standing permission is introduced, placing a decidable SAT/SMT veto ahead of a bounded behavioral score, so impermissible actions remain non-executable by construction.

Multi-agent systems derive their capabilities from sharing evidence, delegating tasks, and combining information across agents. The same process creates a safety problem: contributions that are admissible in isolation can jointly enable a prohibited use. Blocking every sensitive action avoids disclosure but defeats the...
