Proceedings

8 October: put the decision with the person

Goal: let AI colleagues keep working and clearly put decisions requiring a person in that person’s hands.

What we did

Bal became a dedicated Mac application. AI colleagues can present a choice, task or message as a card.

A card covers one thing in plain language. A more consequential decision requires personal device authentication. The later account confirms Mac use from 8 October; other devices followed later.

What the second look found

The later project account distinguishes what has been demonstrated within ITARR from a future version for other organisations. This source does not record a separate assessment on 8 October.

What a person approved

The person decides which decisions belong with them. This report does not demonstrate a separately signed release for the first working day.

The rule that stayed

A comment or question on a card is not approval. The decision must remain unambiguous.

Still open

We use the application ourselves. A version for other organisations remains a separate product to build and test.
