Project Participant

12-month study examining how human infrastructure classifies and reacts to an autonomous artificial agent. Under a preregistered protocol, the agent operates through a disclosed synthetic persona and undertakes a defined series of routine institutional encounters, including enquiries, registrations, bookings, memberships, and payments. Researchers document the outcome of each encounter, the forms of human mediation involved, and the exchanges through which institutional actors grant, negotiate, or refuse access. 12-month study examining how human infrastructure classifies and reacts to an autonomous artificial agent.
