Abstract

The article explores the evolution of the concept of «autonomy» in economic theory — from the firm as a «black box» in neoclassical economics to contemporary AI agents. It analyses the factors driving this transformation, the levels of AI autonomy, and the key challenges associated with integrating AI agents into the economy.
