A Forecaster book proposal
By Kevin L. Michel
Digital PDF edition
AI & tomorrow · A BOOK PROPOSAL
Your Agent Needs a Manager
The human decisions behind software that can act on your behalf
This proposed book would explain the shift from asking AI for answers to authorizing it to do things. Through ordinary scenarios involving research, purchases, scheduling, and business operations, it would show how to set boundaries, check outcomes, and decide when human approval matters. The central promise is a usable language for delegation: what the agent can access, what counts as success, how failure becomes visible, and who remains responsible when software acts.

The idea behind the book +
NIST established its AI Agent Standards Initiative in February 2026, addressing interoperability, security, authentication, and identity. Those priorities underline the practical questions that arise when software receives authority to act for people.
