Gen X grew up in an analog world and learned digital life as it arrived. We played outside until dark, fixed what broke, waited for dial-up, then helped build the early web. Now, near 50, we are learning AI again. We remember the before, and we help shape the after. #ThaerMakdsi

Automation was safe because it stayed what you tested. Self-learning AI never does. Your validation has an expiry date. Thaer Makdsi, 25 years making systems trustworthy. #NourFide: keeping autonomous AI under control. Light you can trust. #AIGovernance #AgenticAI #ThaerMakdsi

The EU gave high-risk AI 16 more months. That helps you write documents. It can't create the logs your system never kept. #AIGovernance #EUAIAct

What would your reviewer actually have to do to catch a wrong answer? If nothing, that is a signature, not oversight. #AIGovernance #HumanInTheLoop

The "new" AI governance principles: human oversight, bounded authority, audit trails, prevention, range testing. It's not invention. It's inheritance. Use that. #AIgovernance #ResponsibleAI #AIagents #SafetyEngineering
