An Agent Should Have Less Authority Than the Person Who Sponsors It

Automation should narrow delegated power. It should not inherit every credential, exception and relationship available to the human who configured it.

The AI System Needs a Right to Be Forgotten

Removing a source file is not enough. Private AI must forget across retrieval indexes, memory, logs, caches, evaluations and copied outputs.

Operating Guide: Approve a Private AI Use Case

Approve AI by examining information, decision consequence, evidence, provider behaviour, human authority and reversibility.

Decision Memo: Hosted, Local or No Model?

Choose AI deployment by information sensitivity, consequence, operational competence, evidence and exit—not by ideology.

The Model’s Confidence Is an Interface Choice

A confident tone, a percentage and a clean answer can all overstate what the system knows. Design uncertainty into the decision surface.

Article / Private Capability

The Private AI Stack Needs an Evidence Layer

Private AI needs more than models and interfaces. It needs durable evidence linking sources, configurations, outputs, human judgement and final action.

How to Test Whether AI Can Keep a Secret

Contracts are not enough. Test whether a private AI system leaks through prompts, retrieval, logs, administrators, exports and model behaviour.

AI Should Not Assemble What No Human May See

An AI system can infer a restricted fact from individually permitted records. Here is how to govern answer-level access, not just document permissions.

Personal AI Requires a Private Architecture

A practical architecture for using AI around sensitive personal and institutional information without confusing convenience with confidentiality.

Local AI Is Not Automatically Private

Running a model locally removes one exposure path. It does not secure data sources, memory, administrators, updates, outputs or devices.

Article / Private Capability

The Model Is Not the Only Thing Learning

Even when prompts are excluded from model training, usage metadata, connectors, administrators and people can learn from how the institution uses AI.

Article / Private Capability

Synthetic Identity Will Break Casual Verification

Voice, face, writing style and private context can all be imitated. Build verification around registered identity, independent channels and consequence.
