| Abstract: | In interacting with artificial social agents, novel forms of sociality between humans and machines emerge. The theme of Social
Agency between humans and robots is of emerging importance. In this paper key theoretical issues are discussed in a preliminary
exploration of the concept. We try to understand what Social Agency is and how it is created by, negotiated with, and attributed
to artificial agents. This is done in particular considering socially situated robots and by exploring how people recognize
and accept social agents. The interplay between humans and agents is investigated through dynamics of interpretation, signification
and attribution. The ultimate goal of this research is to explore the challenges and opportunities brought by the design of
socially intelligent agents.
