AI Governance
Human-centered language is not enough.
Governance fails when the human is named, but not structurally present inside the working system.
Mini thesis
Governance becomes operational when it can be used in the moment of uncertainty.
Many AI governance frameworks speak beautifully about human oversight, responsibility, safety, and alignment. Signalane starts lower, at the working layer: who decides, what evidence is current, where correction returns, and how the human remains close enough to shape meaning.
The disagreement is with a pattern I keep seeing around AI systems: the attempt to force “goodness” onto systems from the outside, while the actual working relationship between human and AI is pushed to the edge.
