Automedon · The operating system in the novel
Stage 2: Unsupervised AI pilots
Someone uses an AI model on real work, but nothing checks its answers and no one owns the result.
In the book: The raw model, naked
The floor
Someone connects an AI model to real documents and writes its answers straight back into your systems. It knows nothing about your rules or history, nothing checks its numbers, and no one owns the outcome.
What forces the next stage
The first costly mistake, or the fear of one.
The next moves
- Put one named person on every AI output that goes back into your systems. High-stakes cases wait for that person.
- Stop writing AI answers straight into your system of record. Hold them where a person can review and approve them.
- Give people an approved AI tool that is easier than the workarounds, so nobody needs a personal account.
- Start logging what the AI saw and what it answered today, before you need the record.
