      <title>Why Provenance Matters When AI Agents Use Tools</title>
      <link>https://davramirez.com/ai-agent-provenance-tool-use/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://davramirez.com/ai-agent-provenance-tool-use/</guid>
      <description>When software can change the world outside its chat window, provenance shows what happened, under whose authority, and why the result should be trusted.

      <title>What Responsible AI Actually Looks Like in Production</title>
      <link>https://davramirez.com/responsible-ai-in-production/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://davramirez.com/responsible-ai-in-production/</guid>
      <description>Responsible AI is not a policy document. In production it becomes architecture: permissions, evidence, monitoring, escalation, privacy boundaries, human authority, and explicit failure states.

      <title>What Is TEVV for AI Agents? Testing, Evaluation, Verification, and Validation Explained</title>
      <link>https://davramirez.com/tevv-for-ai-agents/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://davramirez.com/tevv-for-ai-agents/</guid>
      <description>Benchmarks were built for models. Agents need something stronger: evidence about what they did, what they were allowed to do, and whether the result survives independent evaluation.

      <title>What Is AI Assurance? A Practical Definition for the Agent Age</title>
      <link>https://davramirez.com/what-is-ai-assurance-agent-age/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://davramirez.com/what-is-ai-assurance-agent-age/</guid>
      <description>The agent age has a trust problem. AI assurance is the discipline of converting claims and actions into evidence that another evaluator can inspect, challenge, reproduce, and bound.

      <title>How Autonomous Agents Should Discover, Trust, and Verify One Another</title>
      <link>https://davramirez.com/autonomous-agents-discover-trust-verify/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://davramirez.com/autonomous-agents-discover-trust-verify/</guid>
      <description>Agent ecosystems need more than discovery. A robust architecture separates finding an agent, establishing identity, verifying capability, granting authority, and preserving evidence.

      <title>From AI Demos to Governed Systems</title>
      <link>https://davramirez.com/from-ai-demos-to-governed-systems/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://davramirez.com/from-ai-demos-to-governed-systems/</guid>
      <description>The gap between an impressive AI demo and a system an organization can trust is governance: identity, permissions, provenance, evaluation, observability, privacy, and clear human authority.

      <title>AI Proposes. Evidence Decides: An Operating Doctrine for Trustworthy Autonomous Systems</title>
      <link>https://davramirez.com/ai-proposes-evidence-decides-2/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://davramirez.com/ai-proposes-evidence-decides-2/</guid>
      <description>A practical doctrine for autonomous AI: maximize exploration while keeping authority for truth, consequential action and scientific claims outside the learner.

      <title>From Command Lines to Worlds: Why I’m Building Alexandria for the Agentic Internet</title>
      <link>https://davramirez.com/from-command-lines-to-worlds-alexandria-agentic-internet/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://davramirez.com/from-command-lines-to-worlds-alexandria-agentic-internet/</guid>
      <description>What if command lines, dashboards and an explorable city could access one governed system—without changing permissions, scientific evidence or truth? An inside look at Alexandria’s first Unity milestone and the research boundaries that matter.
