Unlocking the Future of AI: Bridging the Gap Between Demos and Deployment
Many AI demos are captivating, showcasing agents that plan, call tools, and self-correct. However, when teams shift to real-world applications, significant challenges arise. These challenges stem from structural safety issues rather than inaccuracies.
Key failure modes include:
- Non-Replayable Decisions: Implicit context can lead to unpredictable decision paths.
- Probabilistic Execution Authority: Language models produce plausible outputs without guaranteeing safety.
- Lack of a Hard Veto Layer: Systems may take unnecessary risks instead of failing safely.
- Ambiguous Responsibility: Autonomous actions blur the lines of approval, complicating accountability.
For AI to thrive in production, it must facilitate:
- Deterministic outcomes
- Replayable actions
- Human-auditable processes
Until accountability is prioritized, AI autonomy will remain just a demo feature.
