AI Authority in Cyber-Physical Systems

Focus on what an AI system is allowed to read, infer and change when its output can affect engineering or operational state.

ForAI security, product-security, OT/ICS and engineering governance leaders
OutcomeDesign AI adoption around bounded authority, hostile input and transitive trust rather than around model capability alone.
Decision context

Use this path when AI can influence engineering or operational state. The decision is not whether the model is capable, but what it may read, infer and change, and which independent controls limit authority when inputs or dependencies are hostile.
