// GLOSSARY -- AGENTIC FINANCE
What is Agent Mission Economy?
A proposed economic design from DeepMind research where swarms of AI agents are oriented toward collective, human-centred goals rather than purely optimising for profit or efficiency.
WHY IT MATTERS
Most agent economic models optimise for individual agent objectives — minimise cost, maximise throughput. Mission economies orient agent swarms toward shared goals defined by humans — sustainability, equity, safety.
Mission economies require enforcement mechanisms that go beyond individual agent budgets to collective constraints and shared policy frameworks.
HOW POLICYLAYER USES THIS
PolicyLayer's per-agent and global policy controls can enforce both individual and collective constraints, supporting mission-aligned agent deployments.
