The Ethics of Autonomy

When software starts making decisions—hiring people, approving loans, buying stock—who is responsible?

The Responsibility Gap

If an autonomous swarm crashes a database, is it the developer's fault? The user's? The model provider's?

At Bothive, we advocate for Human-in-the-Loop Architecture.

Guardrails

We allow you to set "Confidence Thresholds." If an agent is less than 90% sure, it must ask for human approval. This keeps the human as the pilot, even if the autopilot is flying the plane 99% of the time.

We are establishing an Ethics Board to guide our product decisions in this critical area.
