What I found
The agents need a world of their own.
Agents acting together need ways to recognise one another, establish reputations, make commitments and settle disputes. The shared services can become more influential than any individual assistant.
A digital representative is not only a tool in a person’s hand. It has relationships with other representatives and acts within an infrastructure. Follow those relationships and the agent economy acquires institutions of its own.
The Innieverse develops the world around AI Flashmobs: who makes collective action possible, who sets the rules and how much authority people have delegated into that system.
