Containing Agents That Act on Their Own
Autonomous agents that act, and trigger other agents, without a human in the loop are now a live deployment reality.

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).
