“Sumawka Caller”

The Flaw Already Had a Name. The rules were all in place. The rules fired. The rules lost anyway. Let me tell you why — because I wrote the reason down eighteen days before it made the news. Last week, a cybersecurity firm called LayerX published a proof-of-concept attack they named “BioShocking,” after the 2007…

I built a rulebook for AI. Somewhere along the way, it turned out I was building it for the people, too. This week, Inc. ran a piece by Maria Fernanda Levis. She’s a founder in health care. She spent eight years building a company to bring care to people who needed it most. Then her…

The news this week says the world’s most powerful AI companies are hiring philosophers. Six-figure salaries. Resident thinkers at the top labs. One chief executive says hundreds of moral philosophers helped write the rules for his product. The industry even has a name for the method now. They call it AI constitutionalism. It means taking…

This week the World Bank said something the giants of the AI industry needed to hear. One of its top leaders, writing from the biggest development institution on earth, said the greatest opportunity in artificial intelligence will not come from the giant models. The ones that drink rivers of water and burn cities’ worth of…

The report cards came out this week. Twice a year, an independent panel of experts grades the biggest AI companies on safety. How they test. How they manage risk. Whether they can keep their most powerful systems under control. The best grade in the whole industry was a C+. Not one A. Not one B….

In our country we have lived most of history with governance. Not without argument. Not without fights that left marks on the country and on the people in it. We have disagreed about where the fence went. We have had generations that maintained the fence and generations that neglected them. But still we built them….

The AI Law Floor Just Got Poured — On Both Sides of the Ocean In the same week, two governments picked up the hammer. In Illinois, the governor signed the first AI audit law in the United States — a statute requiring AI labs to create their governance frameworks, publish them, update them every year,…

We Went Looking — Here’s What We Found I told you a salesman set up in my category. Then I did what I always do. I checked the paperwork. This morning I published a post about a trade article introducing a proprietary AI governance framework — three pillars, three certifications, arriving in the press three…

Somebody just set up a booth in my AI governance category. Three days after I ratified AGP-1 — the Agentic Governance Protocol, signed onto the record July 4 — a piece ran in the trade press introducing a company’s proprietary AI governance framework.
