Cornerstone Topic
AI governance is moving from review boards into delivery pipelines and runtime systems.
This path collects notes on agentic development, zero trust for AI, runtime policy, and the operating model needed when automation starts making decisions.
Why It Matters
AI systems are becoming participants in delivery, operations, and decision workflows. Governance has to move closer to where those systems act.
Key Concepts
Runtime policy, agent accountability, zero trust for AI systems, auditability, and human oversight.
Start With
Begin with runtime governance, then move into CI/CD controls and zero trust patterns for AI-enabled environments.
ATO for AI Systems
How AI models actually get authorized in the DoD — the Assess Only construct, the coming NIST 800-53 AI overlays, and the re-authorization trigger problem nobody has solved.
