This paper introduces the GUI Agent Autonomy Levels (GAL) framework, a six-level scale for classifying the autonomy of GUI agents interacting with software. The framework aims to clarify the varying degrees of autonomy currently attributed to GUI agents, addressing ambiguity in capability, responsibility, and risk. By providing a standardized benchmark, GAL facilitates progress towards more trustworthy software interaction.
Radically different claims about GUI agent autonomy are obscuring capability, responsibility, and risk, demanding a new framework for clarity.
GUI agents are rapidly becoming a new interaction to software, allowing people to navigate web, desktop and mobile rather than execute them click by click. Yet ``agent''is described with radically different degrees of autonomy, obscuring capability, responsibility and risk. We call for conceptual clarity through GUI Agent Autonomy Levels (GAL), a six-level framework that makes autonomy explicit and helps benchmark progress toward trustworthy software interaction.
