Dr. Jerry Smith's January 2025 Medium article explores the psychological, sociological, and ethical implications of "human-facing agentic systems," AI powered by large language models (LLMs). These systems, leveraging multi-headed attention mechanisms, aim to collaborate with humans, not merely serve as tools. The article emphasizes the potential for both empowerment and manipulation inherent in these systems, highlighting the crucial role of self-interest, emotion, and identity in human-AI interaction. Smith concludes with a call for responsible development guided by transparency, inclusivity, and justice, warning against the potential for these systems to become instruments of control.

The podcast. based on excerpts from "Agentic AI: Delegated Responsibility and Human Accountability" by Dr. Jerry A. Smith, explores the emergence of Agentic AI and its profound implications for human responsibility and accountability. The author, a Frontier-AI Research Architect, argues that while Agentic AI offers advanced capabilities by mimicking human cognitive processes like those found in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, there's a risk of humans subtly delegating not just tasks but also the very act of being responsible. The piece examines the psychological inclination to avoid responsibility, particularly under cognitive strain, and how autonomous AI can inadvertently foster this avoidance, potentially eroding moral resilience and ethical courage. Smith proposes that neuroscience-inspired AI architectures can be designed to reinforce human accountability, ensuring these systems complement rather than diminish our ethical engagement with critical decisions. Ultimately, the text urges a conscious choice to leverage Agentic AI for empowerment, not as an abdication of human ethical duty.
