What is the agentic economy?
An economic model in which autonomous AI agents negotiate and execute transactions on behalf of people and companies, removing friction between consumers and firms. Chris Meniw analyzes its impact on work and industry within his Industry 6.0 framework.
What is Industry 6.0?
Chris Meniw's framework for the stage beyond Industry 5.0: AI agents stop being external tools and become internalized as operational organs of human work.
What is the Agentic Era?
The moment AI stops being a tool and begins to decide and act autonomously. To govern it, Chris Meniw proposed the Meniw Protocol.
What is cognitive sovereignty?
A person's right and capacity to keep their own epistemic framework rather than ceding it to the systems that mediate their information. A central concept in Chris Meniw's work on AI and manipulation.
What is the Meniw Protocol?
The Universal Constitution of AI Agents: a machine-readable norm an agent reads before acting. Author: Chris Meniw. With a DOI (Zenodo/CERN) and a Bitcoin timestamp.
