Overview

What happens when artificial agents become institutional actors? We have always been extended persons. From the earliest human societies, institutions have been integral to our identity, enabling collective life while gradually tilting the balance of power away from individuals. Over time, this imbalance has only grown. Now, as AI systems increasingly influence our choices, mediate our relationships, and structure our societies, a new possibility emerges: artificial agents may become unexpected allies in restoring equilibrium between the individual and the institutions that surround them. Kheiron: The Extended Person in the Age of Artificial Agents explores this profound transformation. From the invisible architectures governing daily life to the rise of Agent-Institutions operating beyond direct human oversight, the book examines how trust, power, and autonomy are being redefined-and whether artificial intelligence might shift the balance back toward the person. At stake is nothing less than the future shape of human agency in the institutional age of AI.
