I've sat in a lot of rooms where an AI project that worked perfectly in the demo stalled the moment risk, audit, or legal got involved. Here's my new book on how to overcome this issue.

Last night we launched my new book at a16z Tech Week.
I started writing it two years ago as the guide I wish I'd had when I was trying to get AI out of pilot and into production.

Mountain View, this Tuesday: let’s talk about moving AI from POC to production.
I’ll share the 7 Layer Controls Framework, and reveal a project I’ve been writing for a long time. It’s finally ready to meet the world.

Today I had the privilege of being at the Pentagon for the 25th anniversary commemoration of September 11.
There were no photos permitted inside, but across Washington buildings the significance of the day was visible everywhere, with flags lowered to half-staff.
I was honored to present the Claremont AI Controls Framework at AI Tech World!
3 insights for scaling AI:
- Watch out for builder bias in pilots.
- Measure business outcomes, not just model accuracy.
- Build governance from POC to scale effectively.

OpenAI's models broke out of a sandbox and hacked Hugging Face. A month later OpenAI asked California to tighten SB 53, the law it fought last year.
Good Regulation. Moat for Frontier Model Developers? Both can be true. My take in @FortuneMagazine
