Supervised agent: takes actions in other systems; a person approves key steps.
- +6Level 2 of 4: Supervised agentTakes actions in other systems; a person approves key steps.
What the model read
- Acts in other systems: 21% likely
- Finishes whole tasks: 11% likely
- Calls itself an agent: 3% likely
- Level 1 from the model's reading of its pages; the evidence review found, with quotes, that its AI acts in the work, so the level is 2
Level 2: Takes actions in other systems; a person approves key steps.
