AI is moving into the real world. Here is what we need to build alongside it.

By Jinav Shah. Views are personal.

We are at an inflection point.

AI systems are moving from answering questions on a screen to taking actions in the world. Booking appointments. Approving transactions. Navigating physical environments. Writing and executing code.

With that shift comes a natural question. Not whether AI is capable enough, but whether we understand it well enough to deploy it confidently in high stakes situations.

This is not a question about AI being good or bad. It is a question about how well we understand what is happening inside these systems when they get something wrong.
