Do we need a better cage for AI — or a better membrane?
AI safety is not always a property of the model alone.
Safe components can combine into unsafe systems. Nine agreeing AIs may still share one underlying source. Permission to act is not the same as evidence that the action is wise. And an acceptable decision can become dangerous when its consequences cannot be reversed.
So perhaps we should examine the whole route:
Source → Interpretation → Authority → Capability → Action → Outcome
and ask about:
Provenance • Independence • Composition • Authority • Reversibility
Walls stop things crossing. Membranes govern what crosses, how, and under what conditions.
Perhaps AI governance needs both.

So official #introduction for the new platform and #medmastodon as this seems to be the thing!
I probably know lots of folk from #medtwitter #anaesthesia and #HumanFactors the same cross over as many of you.
Based in #melbourne I work as an #anesthesiologist and lead the #usercentreddesign at an #innovation lab. I also research teams in #criticalcare and interventions to improve #patientsafety - mostly in #surgery. Like in #medicationsafety #anaphylaxis and #airway management.
