# Consent and Agency
AI products make decisions, take actions, and process information on behalf of users. Consent and agency design ensures users remain in control — understanding what the AI does, agreeing to it, and being able to override it.
## Informed Consent for AI
Users should understand and agree to:
- **What data the AI uses**: Conversation history, personal data, uploaded documents, browsing behaviour
- **What the AI does with it**: Training, personalisation, sharing with third parties, storage
- **What actions the AI takes**: Sending messages, making changes, accessing systems
- **What the AI can't do**: Limitations that might affect the user's expectations
Consent is not a checkbox at sign-up. It's an ongoing design challenge throughout the experience.
## Designing for Agency
Agency means the user feels — and is — in control:
- **Opt-in over opt-out**: AI features should be activated by the user, not imposed
- **Reversibility**: AI actions should be undoable wherever possible
- **Override mechanisms**: The user can always stop, redirect, or override the AI
- **Exit paths**: The user can disengage from AI assistance at any point without penalty
