TL;DR: Collaboration of biological and artificial agents requires a new conceptual framework for agent’s behavior. Here is a proposal.

Abstract: This note concentrates on the notion of agents' behavior, as understood today, and suggests expanding it to study future socio-technical systems. The proposal is to take an ontological viewpoint to discuss anew topics like: how to understand behavior, how to connect behavior to an agents' type, how to structure a broader framework for behavior studies.
