Agentic AI

Artificial intelligence systems no longer merely generate content: they act, they send, modify, commit. When an organization delegates the capability to act to a system, what limits must be set before the action? What evidence must be kept during it? Who must be able to answer for it afterwards? This book gives the three questions a methodological answer, grounded in one thesis: technical autonomy does not create legal autonomy. Working through the AI Act, the GDPR, and the European digital regulatory ecosystem, the book builds original categories, graduated agenticity, the chain of attribution of agentic action, evidentiary accountability, and delivers them into an operational tool, the seven-column matrix, all the way to executable code. For lawyers, DPOs, compliance officers, and anyone who must govern, rather than endure, delegation to machines.
