    Abstract

    This paper argues that fully autonomous AI agents should not be
    developed. In support of this position, we build from prior scientific literature and current product marketing to delineate different AI agent levels and detail the ethical values at play in each, documenting trade-
    offs in potential benefits and risks. Our analysis reveals that risks to people increase with the autonomy of a system: The more control a user
    cedes to an AI agent, the more risks to people arise. Particularly
    concerning are safety risks, which affect human life and impact further values.
