When the Human Becomes the Copilot

For years, AI has been positioned as a copilot assisting human operators. Autonomous agents reverse that relationship. 

This talk explores the path from AI-assisted operations to self-operating infrastructure: autonomy levels, agentic control loops, dynamic sandboxing, operational safety, verification, and the changing role of the human operator. The goal is not to remove humans from the loop, but to understand what happens when the AI begins driving it.
