In depth
Category B represents agents that perform white-collar work within organizational boundaries. Unlike Category A (where agents buy on behalf of humans), Category B agents replace workers—analyzing documents, writing code, managing projects, and making operational decisions. No payment is involved between the agent and enterprise; the agent is a production asset. This category raises automation and displacement risks.
