Value-Sensitive Delegation in Everyday AI Agent Use: Evidence from OpenClaw

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 18, 2026 · UTC

Users increasingly delegate work to autonomous AI agents, yet evaluations typically measure task completion rather than the values users prioritize. Using Value Sensitive Design, we analyzed, with LLM assistance, 73,093 first-person Reddit posts about using OpenClaw, each for its human value, agent aspect, value fulfillment, and user outcome. The 21 values form six value groups, including Autonomous, Dependable, and Affordable Operation, Bounded Reach, Reviewability, and Equitable Access. Relative to each aspect's corpus share, values clustered not at the agent's outputs but at the operating c
