Efficient human-machine networks require productive interaction between human\nand machine actors. In this study, we address how a strengthening of machine\nagency, for example through increasing levels of automation, affect the human\nactors of the networks. Findings from case studies within air traffic\nmanagement, crisis management, and crowd evacuation are presented, exemplifying\nhow automation may strengthen the agency of human actors in the network through\nresponsibility sharing and task allocation, and serve as a needed prerequisite\nof innovation and change.\n
