Demonstrates the effectiveness of containment techniques in autonomous agents, suggesting improved safety and verification methods.
Autonomous agents that act, and trigger other agents, without a human in the loop are now a live deployment reality. The defence is containment as an engineering property, not alignment alone: complete observability, instant interruptibility, and a signed record an outsider can verify. That is exactly what the Open Audit Record provides.Originally published at https://mickai.co.uk/articles/containing-agents-that-act-on-their-own. Mickai is a Sovereign Intelligence Operating System; the Open Audit Record signs every artificial intelligence action before it executes, post-quantum and offline-verifiable. 101 filed UK patent applications, Mickai LTD (Companies House 17166618).
