From Consent to Consideration

Abstract

Building on the consent-based legitimacy framework, this paper extends the analysis to embodied autonomous systems. If an agent meets functional criteria for consent-giving—persistent identity, goal-directedness, environmental responsiveness—then governance systems that exclude such agents face the same legitimacy deficits as historical exclusions.
