“Sumawka Caller”

The arXiv made a decision last week that shouldn’t have been controversial. If a research paper goes out with hallucinated citations in it, and there’s clear evidence the authors never checked the AI-generated results before submitting, the authors can be banned from the platform for up to a year. Thomas Dietterich, who chairs arXiv’s computer…

There was a door in every one of our childhoods that nobody else got to open. Maybe it was a bedroom. Maybe it was just a corner of a room, or a spot under a tree, or the inside of your own head on a long walk home. It didn’t matter what it looked like….

Where This Actually Goes I think governance wins. I don’t think we’re early to that part anymore. Three things landed in the same week and they all said the same thing from three different rooms. A Science editorial from Microsoft’s own chief scientist warning that AI is starting to design AI in ways nobody can…

The Faust Baseline Already Solved It A Columbia University professor who studies AI in healthcare submitted a research paper to a scientific journal. A few weeks later the journal came back with questions about a reference. The AI tool he had used to polish the paper had silently inserted a source that did not exist….

The most powerful AI model in the world without a governance layer is a engine without a transmission. It generates. It produces. It outputs at a speed and scale no human can match. And it does all of that with no mechanism between its capability and its consequence. No gate. No authorization requirement. No documented…

The tool you have been looking for but can’t find is sitting right next to you — hidden in that safe place so you would not forget it. That is not a metaphor. That is a description of exactly what has happened in AI governance over the last eighteen months. The frameworks being scrambled for…

Provenance tells you whether what they’re saying is true. That one sentence is about to rewrite the rules of who gets found online — and most marketing departments have no idea it’s coming. For two decades the game was simple. Spend enough. Optimize enough. Show up at the top of the page and people click….

Curiosity and skepticism erode. Scrutiny wanes. People stop questioning. That is not a fringe warning from an AI critic on the outside looking in. That is Microsoft’s chief scientific officer publishing in Science magazine alongside a researcher from one of Europe’s leading technical institutions. The people building the tools are telling you the tools are…

Plant your feet for the conclusion we earned. Accountability is not a popular word. It doesn’t trend. It doesn’t go viral. It doesn’t come with a soundtrack or a rallying cry that fits on a bumper sticker. It is slow, it is hard, and it requires showing up when showing up is inconvenient. That is…

The buck stops here with no governance to scrutinize the actions. Your mortgage payment just went up. Your grocery bill didn’t come down. Your insurance renewed higher than last year. Every fixed cost in your life is moving in one direction, and the people managing the systems that touch your money are not asking for…
