When Not to Automate: A Formal Protocol for Human Preservation in AI-Optimized Organizations
Jose Manuel de la Chica Rodriguez, Jairo Rodriguez Arias, Spyridon Chouliaras
Standard automation ROI misses four categories of systemic risk -- tacit knowledge erosion, resilience reduction, regulatory exposure, and socio-institutional capital degradation -…
Auction-Consensus Algorithm with Learned Bidding Scheme for Multi-Robot Systems
Jose Rodriguez, Constantine Tarawneh, Sven Koenig +2
Multi-Robot Task Allocation (MRTA) is a central challenge in decentralized multi-agent systems, where teams of robots must cooperatively assign and execute tasks under limited comm…
Mechanical Enforcement for LLM Governance:Evidence of Governance-Task Decoupling in Financial Decision Systems
José Manuel de la Chica RodrÃguez, Carlos MartÃ-González
Large language models in regulated financial workflows are governed by natural-language policies that the same model interprets, creating a principal--agent failure: outputs can ap…
When Stress Becomes Signal: Detecting Antifragility-Compatible Regimes in Multi-Agent LLM Systems
Jose Manuel de la Chica, Juan Manuel Vera, Jairo RodrÃguez
Multi-agent LLM systems are increasingly used to solve complex tasks through decomposition, debate, specialization, and ensemble reasoning. However, these systems are usually evalu…
Selection as Power: Constrained Reinforcement for Bounded Decision Authority
Jose Manuel de la Chica Rodriguez, Juan Manuel Vera DÃaz
Selection as Power argued that upstream selection authority, rather than internal objective misalignment, constitutes a primary source of risk in high-stakes agentic systems. Howev…
Towards Selection as Power: Bounding Decision Authority in Autonomous Agents
Jose Manuel de la Chica Rodriguez, Juan Manuel Vera DÃaz
Autonomous agentic systems are increasingly deployed in regulated, high-stakes domains where decisions may be irreversible and institutionally constrained. Existing safety approach…
