Governing Intelligent Systems
The category I am building around: how intelligent systems stay coherent, accountable, and governable under change. -
Because Drift Happens™
The core thesis: drift is the default condition of all systems. -
Runtime Isolation Is Not Governance
AI agent runtimes solve the execution problem, but serious autonomous systems also need governance, authorisation, escalation, and provenance. -
AI Can Generate Software. Reality Still Gets A Vote.
