Recognition Before Authority: What AI Should and Should Not Do in the First Minutes of a Working Incident

Position paper (Version 1.0, October 27, 2026) on limits of AI authority in hazardous-incident response. Argues AI should improve the commander’s recognition under incomplete information—Display, then bounded Recommend—while strategy, interior commitment, and withdrawal stay with command. Inputs labeled known / inferred / unknown / unsupported. No claim of field-validated safety outcomes. Author: Dan Deppert, Co-Founder & CTO, HazNetix.

Abstract

Position paper (Version 1.0, October 27, 2026) on limits of AI authority in hazardous-incident response. Argues AI should improve the commander’s recognition under incomplete information—Display, then bounded Recommend—while strategy, interior commitment, and withdrawal stay with command. Inputs labeled known / inferred / unknown / unsupported. No claim of field-validated safety outcomes. Author: Dan Deppert, Co-Founder & CTO, HazNetix.
