Post 4 - Building AI You Can Trust

Short summary

A product manager with six years in auto-finance argues that guardrails are not the opposite of velocity but what enables safe speed. Every new AI capability should ship disabled by default and only activate after passing automated gates that prove existing functionality still works. This discipline prevents costly regressions discovered weeks after shipping.

  • •Ship AI features off by default; enable only after automated safety gates pass
  • •Guardrails enable velocity by preventing regressions, not slowing teams down
  • •Discipline from regulated finance applies directly to AI product development

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
