When AI Enters the Control Room, the Record Has to Outlive the Vendor

Key Points

The research explores the accountability of AI actions in control systems and the durability of records beyond vendors.
Issued guidance from CISA, NCSC, and partners for AI integration in operational technology.
Discussed the role of the Open Audit Record for verifying AI actions before execution.
Proposes that AI actions must be recorded for enduring accountability beyond vendor control.
Highlights post-quantum measures for maintaining record integrity.

Abstract

In 2026 CISA, the NCSC and partners issued joint guidance on integrating AI into the operational technology behind power, water and industry. The unsolved question underneath it: when an AI acts in the control room, who holds a record that survives the vendor and a regulator can replay.Originally published at https://mickai.co.uk/articles/control-room-ai-record-must-outlive-the-vendor. 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).
