Enterprise-grade AI governance: stopping drift from becoming a rip tide. Introduction: capability and responsibility As organisations move from experimenting with large language models to deploying agentic systems – systems that can reason, decide, and take action – the risk profile changes fundamentally. An AI system that merely generates text is one thing. An AI system…

This paper summarises evidence-based AI security risks and mitigations drawn from published research, regulatory frameworks, and operational practice. Introduction Generative AI systems are now routinely deployed in environments that affect customers, employees, finances, and regulatory obligations. In many organisations, large language models (LLMs) are integrated with retrieval systems, automation tools, and business workflows to provide…

This morning I caught myself typing: “Good morning, Chat.” Then I stopped. Who exactly am I greeting, HAL? I felt like Catweazle saying hello to his own reflection in the lake. There’s no awareness on the other side. No inner life. No “self.” And yet, the exchange feels relational. We talk to our cars. So…

Beyond the Hype: AI Agents, Vulcan Logic, and the 95% That Matters As we all know AI dominates the headlines in 2025. On one side, we are promised superintelligence that will “transform civilisation.” On the other, MIT reports that 95% of corporate AI pilots fail to scale (MIT Sloan, 2025). From a Vulcan perspective, these…

The Consultant-Grade AI Interaction Model: Professional Leverage. The 6-Layer Interaction Stack Layer 1 – Intent (Why This Exists) Bad prompts ask what. Consultant prompts declare purpose, scope, and consequence. Consultant framing Example “I need to determine whether this programme is salvageable before committing political capital.” Layer 2 – Authority (Who Is Speaking) When authority and…

Externalising Cognition with AI Using ChatGPT as an applied cognitive enhancement system. Most AI publications focus on speed and output quality. This piece makes a different observation: that the more consequential shift may lie in how cognitive judgement is supported. What follows describes the process that emerged and why it suggests the potential for enhanced…

Your side hustle is becoming sentient. At GhostGen.AI we’ve been quietly testing agentic workflows—semi-passive systems that learn to operate on their own. We now have a blueprint for using AI agents to create a semi-passive business, built on a WordPress + WooCommerce framework. Early results? Promising. Slightly eerie. Addictively efficient. Haiku like. The late-night experiments…

According emperic evidence a lot of AI implementations aren’t going well. Not in a spectacular way — but in a slow, quiet way. Here’s what the “quiet way” looks like: McKinsey reports that only 1% of GenAI initiatives are mature. Deloitte sees board-level interest dropping — even as budgets rise. The result? AI theatre. Fancy…

Agency Mode refers to a system design or architecture where an AI (or automation system) operates as an independent agent — proactively taking actions on behalf of a user or organization, often across systems and workflows. It contrasts with reactive “assistant mode” AI, which only responds to prompts. Here’s a practical example: 📘 Case Study:…
