How this works
01

Corpus

Answers are drawn from the essays and case studies in this library, plus a small set of canonical positions I hold.

02

Citations

Every research-mode answer links to the pieces it drew from. If the library does not cover it, the surface declines.

03

No persona

One question, one answer. No chat history, no synthesized personality, no claims it cannot back up.

How do you think about AI governance?

AI governance starts before the model. Most teams treat it as an output problem, which is the wrong layer: a guardrail bolted onto a generation step. The platform decisions made upstream — how data is labeled, how lineage is tracked, who owns the enrichment pipeline — determine whether the AI is governable at all.

The pattern I look for is whether the platform can answer three questions for any AI-derived value: where did it come from, who is accountable for it, and what happens when it is wrong. If those answers are clear, the model is operationally governed. If not, no amount of policy layered on top will fix it.
