Architects of Intent
Governing AI-Accelerated Software Change
AI makes proposals cheap. It also makes one mistaken interpretation cheap to spread through code, contracts, tests, and documentation. CI can pass while released systems break.
This book makes the change process explicit, versioned, and enforceable. People and policy set direction. AI proposes. Evidence guides adaptation. Governance decides what becomes real.
Who Should Read It
- Engineers and architects responsible for AI-assisted changes to production
- Platform, reliability, security, quality, and risk owners
- Leaders deciding how much authority to delegate
What the Book Develops
- Bounded probabilistic work with explicit contracts, protected checks, and finite stopping
- Translation from natural-language intent into formal work, then updated Maps from observed Terrain
- Finite workflows that compose without inheriting undeclared authority or effects
