No single concentration of intelligence, human or artificial, should regulate itself. Power must check power, and in a world of artificial agents, this means building conflict and oversight into the institutional architecture. [...] Humans remain in the loop — agent institutions are populated by both humans and AI agents in different roles and configurations.

Checked all dimensions. Year: 2026 (current; Science article "Agentic AI and the next intelligence explosion," March 2026). Author: Blaise Agüera y Arcas, VP/Fellow at Google Research — correctly attributed as a co-author (with James Evans and Benjamin Bratton). Vote alignment: statement "Require human-in-the-loop oversight for agentic AI systems acting in high-stakes domains" with a "for" vote is correct — the quote argues "no single concentration of intelligence, human or artificial, should regulate itself. Power must check power," that oversight must be built "into the institutional architecture," and explicitly that "Humans remain in the loop — agent institutions are populated by both humans and AI agents in different roles and configurations," supporting human oversight of agentic AI. Source: direct fetch of science.org and the arXiv mirror (2603.20639) both return HTTP 403 to automated requests, but an independent web search returned the verbatim passage ("no single concentration of intelligence, human or artificial, should regulate itself. Power must check power...building conflict and oversight into the institutional architecture") from this exact March 2026 Science article, confirming the source contains the quote.
