Consent Chain Degradation in Embodied Multi-Agent Systems: Bridging the Gap Between AI Agent Governance and Robot Ethics
Robotic systems are moving from isolated platforms to interconnected multi-agent ecosystems that operate in human environments. This shift raises a governance problem that existing frameworks do not address: how does consent propagate, degrade, and break down across chains of delegation between embodied autonomous agents? The AI ethics community has begun to study consent for digital software agents, and the HRI community has examined consent in dyadic human-robot encounters. Neither body of wor
