The AI Control Architecture by Kai London
When the machine decides, someone must answer. The AI Control Architecture is the 90-day system for building AI that is governed, regulated and revenue-ready — a control plane that keeps autonomous systems accountable without grinding the business to a halt.
By the end of this book you will be able to:
Design an AI control plane
Architect the governance layer that sits across every AI system in the enterprise.
Make autonomy accountable
Keep autonomous AI decisions explainable, traceable and answerable to a named owner.
Govern without killing velocity
Embed controls that satisfy risk and compliance while letting the business move.
Map controls to the regimes
Align the architecture to the EU AI Act, ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF.
Turn governed AI into revenue
Make trustworthy, compliant AI a product advantage rather than a cost centre.
Give the board assurance
Provide directors a clear line of sight and evidence over the organisation's AI.
When the machine decides, someone must answer.
