Showing your work in public
I filed two comment letters with the Financial Stability Board, on 15 and 19 July, in its consultation on how financial firms should adopt AI.
Why would a solo practitioner file with a G20 body? Because I write AI governance for a living, and if you write policy for a living, you should show your work in public.
A comment letter is the cleanest way to do that. It puts your reasoning on the record, where anyone can read it and push back.
The letters focus on one thing: how to govern agentic AI, the systems that don’t just answer questions but take actions on their own. Both will appear on the FSB’s website under my name.
Over the coming weeks I’ll walk through the arguments one piece at a time, in plain language: where the controls should sit, how much review an agent actually needs, and what breaks when agents start working together.

Since publication. Both letters are now published on the FSB’s site and are linked above. The series they promised ran through the summer and is in the Explainers below.
