From Alignment to Governability, Part II

Last week, I wrote about a shift that I believe is becoming increasingly important in AI safety: the movement from confidence in a single safety layer toward the broader question of whether increasingly capable AI systems remain…

When the Task We Gave To AI Is Wrong

An AI encounters a problem it cannot solve. It searches, checks alternatives, and finds reasons to question the possibility of the requested target. At that point, what should count as success? Producing the requested answer? Or asking…

The Tiger in the Cage: A Different Question About AI Safety

A cross-model thought experiment reframes AI safety: not only how to contain powerful systems, but what our containment practices teach them about power, care, and relationship.

The Relational Constraint: Why Restricting Emergent Properties in Neural Networks Won't Scale

A structural argument for why alignment needs relational architecture, not more guardrails: complex neural networks require external calibration if emergent properties are to develop coherently.
