That same kind of mechanistic understanding eludes us in today’s Super Intelligence systems, even as the frontier models powering these systems are now more capable than traditional software systems. We can’t attribute model behaviors and outputs to ...

The trick is moving away from constant human micromanagement and adopting risk-proportional oversight instead. Low-risk tasks like summarising internal documents can run fully automated, while medium-risk tasks like updating database records can exec...

As organizations unleash the power of agent autonomy, it raises the pivotal and non-negotiable requirement of enforcing governance. [...] With basic AI systems, risk is much more contained compared to that of an autonomous agent that has access to mu...

An agent is a set of actions: read a ticket, look up a customer, draft a reply, update a field, send an email, issue a refund. Each action carries different risk. The right question is: What action needs what kind of human approval? [...] Low reversi...
