Building safety controls into AI systems

The biggest opportunity in AI isn't another model. It's building the trust infrastructure that protects people from AI-enabled hubris.

I'm returning to GW School of Business to teach "Big #Data, Predictive #Analytics and #Ethics." If you're building, deploying, governing, or critiquing #AI systems, you're sitting on the case study I can't invent from a lecture hall. Send the case my way to prep my students for the future.

America, according to the @economist.com, the stats are not in your favor. However, I know you to be a liberal experiment that defies stats. Hence, this is a reminder that you read my open letter to you. Link: open.substack.com/pub/datawumi...

I arrived during the final years of America's first 250 years. What I witnessed compelled me to write "In 2276," an open letter to the next 250 years of the republic. If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? My answer: open.substack.com/pub/datawumi...

There is a silent gatekeeper standing between you and the full benefits of AI. It is not an algorithm. It is a platform.

The universe computes. Math is its whisper. Gould’s observation remains relevant four decades later. We cannot govern #AI, understand nature, or shape #civilization by fearing the very #language through which reality reveals its structure.

I’m speaking at @natfairhouse.bsky.social's 2026 National Conference. My session will allow attendees to review housing descriptions generated by AI systems to determine if those descriptions comply with the fair housing laws. Register at bit.ly/NFHANC26 or scan the QR code on the flyer.

You need to convince yourself before trying to convince the world. You need to conquer yourself before you can conquer the world.

A man in America asked three AI systems a simple financial question. He got three different answers. That gap — $587.82 wide — is a parable for our moment. What has that got to do with Pope Leo XIV's encyclical, the Tower of Babel, or the Pentecost?

Want to know what cancelling an executive order say about how we're framing the AI race? The short version: no one grounds safe planes to fly faster ones with no safety checks. The same logic applies to AI. Safety and speed are not enemies. Use any of the links below to read the full argument.

As philosophers, theologians, engineers, and mathematicians shape the constitutions of foundation models developed by the #BigTech, we should remember that resolving life’s central tension requires the integration of mind, body, and spirit.

What happens when morality becomes #math? @theatlantic.com, will it erase ethics from our minds? It may take Hill, the Valley, and faith and non-faith communities intentionally answering the question together.

Elected AI-assisted lawmaker, human lawmaker, or AI lawmaker? According to the NCSL, “44% of state legislative staff used AI in their work last year, up from just 20% in 2024.” Could AI reshape “thought processes like writing, problem-solving and reasoning” that define lawmaking? @economist.com

As #SCOTUS considers the Voting Rights Act, its decision will provide important clarity on how the law interprets the relationship between #equality and #equity.

#Chess teaches that #math defines possibility, #philosophy defines meaning, #sociology defines who gets to play, and #economics defines who gets to win. Listen to @economist.com’s podcast on chess to make sense of my statement.

What a week. Two juries. Two verdicts. Two days. If you've been following the news, asking how Meta is implementing AI safety, this conversation is for you. Next week I'm sitting down with Meta's Global AI Policy Lead for a fireside chat at @natfairhouse.bsky.social's Responsible #AI #Symposium.

There is a case before the court. The parties: the people and the government. The subject: the future of AI Alignment. No one is talking about it the way they should be. That’s the most alarming part.

The AI race should be redefined: Not competition for dominance, but a race to push the frontier of harm reduction. Capability without safety is not progress.

I had one question, maybe two, after seeing this video posted by @wired.com on #Facebbook. If a system can deviate from its intended task in trivial settings, what does that imply for high-stakes deployments? What if this #Robot decided to hurt both patrons and staff?

Michael Akinwumi @angelofmath.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
Prioritizing speed over safety, security, privacy and guardrails in the AI race is almost surely self-destructive and self-defeating in the long run.

This tragedy is a sobering reminder that #data #quality is a moral responsibility. In any data-driven system where decisions carry human consequences, the integrity of the information behind those decisions is inseparable from the integrity of the decision itself. #ResponsibleAI

If Hector is right, and I believe he is, then the task of every pupil is not merely to accumulate knowledge, but to distill wisdom from the moments time affords them. Understanding is the discipline that turns passing hours into lasting insight.

AI is reshaping access to opportunity across society. The question is whether it will expand rights or deepen inequities. I’m speaking at @natfairhouse.bsky.social’s 2026 AI Symposium to explore how innovation and civil rights can advance together. Join this cross-sector dialogue.

When a theorem challenges common sense, I don’t doubt the #math. I question the limits of my intuition.

When elephants fight, the grass sometimes grows in the space between them. When they reconcile, the grass has nowhere left to live.

The question is not whether AI will shape society. The question is whether civil and human rights will shape AI. That’s why @natfairhouse.bsky.social is organizing #ZeroGap under the leadership of @itslisarice.bsky.social.

AI in workforce discussion is not exclusive to the optimists, pragmatists and pessimists. “Shadow AI” v. “Enterprise AI” may tip the employee v. employer power dynamic. “Right now, workers are potentially training AI how to make them obsolete. And they often don’t realize it.”

@economist.com just described the structural consequence of losing the sovereign AI race: peripheralization. Nations that don’t control #AI become data colonies, supplying raw behavioral surplus while value accrues elsewhere. #Extraction has just gone #algorithmic.

If #algorithms narrate your financial story, shouldn’t you have ownership over the narrative they construct? When financial identity shifts by 70+ points, that’s not just math. That’s a #transparency problem.

Google and GoogleAI identified and hired Yonatan. I hope other tech and AI companies have hiring practices that attract people who are committed to addressing The Alignment Problem (TAP). Register for the AI symposium of @natfairhouse.bsky.social to learn more about TAP.

Best to constantly remember that Shultz’s insight is not a warning against the middle. It’s about the price one pays for disrupting binary thinking. It’s a warning about the environment we create when we make extremes easier than wisdom. via @economist.com

The SpaceX/xAI merger is a massive leap. We’re already mapped and tracked across the geosphere. That surveillance is now being decisively expanded into orbit. Once it reaches the subsurface, the loop closes. This is about living inside systems that see everything. via @wsj.com

This is why 2026 must become the year of AI alignment. This output exposes a harder truth: AI systems need shared global guardrails. Now. The question is whether governments will agree on rules before applications begin enforcing human judgments without human consensus.

Care about my 2026 AI focus area? From 2021 to 2025, exposed fractures across the full AI stack from energy to people. So, 2026 must be different. For me, it’s The Year of Alignment. Watch out for my January 5 post on the rocks I intend to build with in the new year.
