The Problem You've built an autonomous AI agent. You've given it constraints—readonly rules it cannot modify. One rule might be: "Never auto-clear the human pause flag." Good. That prevents runaway behavior. But now a legitimate edge case appears. The human explicitly grants authority for one specific action that would violate the constraint. The agent is stuck: Option A : Read around its own doc…

The Problem AI agents are moving from answering questions to taking actions — calling APIs, querying databases, executing code, managing memory. The security surface has shifted from "what the model says" to "what the agent does." Most guardrail solutions address the first problem. They filter content. They detect prompt injection. They moderate output. These are necessary but insufficient. The g…

As organizations move beyond single-purpose models toward autonomous and adaptive AI systems, governance requirements are changing rapidly. Traditional AI governance frameworks—designed for static models and offline decision-making—are increasingly insufficient for agentic AI systems that plan, act, and interact across complex environments in real time. This article provides a structured, enterpr…

by Tara Pozzi, Mark Lubell, Tanya Heikkila, Andrea K. Gerlak, & Pamela Rittelmeyer Science enterprises play an increasingly important role in shaping the policy process. While existing literature explores the nexus of science and decision-making, research is limited by a lack of empirical institutional analysis—specifically how science is shaped by and a feature of governance … Continue reading "…
