A sealed, unauditable facial-recognition module scanning a featureless silhouette stands opposite a matching open-framework version whose internal workings are fully visible, illustrating opaque versus inspectable recognition systems.

Who Is Liable for Third-Party Facial Recognition Errors?

Who pays when rented facial recognition causes a false arrest? See NIST error data, the Workday ruling, settlements, and the SaaS contract terms that shift risk.

Moffatt v. Air Canada: Is a Company Liable for Its Chatbot?

Moffatt v. Air Canada explained: how a BC tribunal held the airline liable for its chatbot's false refund advice, the CA$812.02 award, and what it means for AI bots.

The 'Mathocalypse' and Why Rented Security Is a Liability

AI math breakthroughs are compressing encryption's safety margin. Here's why enterprises renting security from opaque SaaS vendors can't keep pace.

What Is a Zero-Knowledge Proof in Software?

What is a zero-knowledge proof in software? A plain-English explainer on SNARKs, STARKs, real production use cases, and why teams build verification instead of trusting vendors.

What Is an AI Formal Proof in Lean 4?

An AI formal proof in Lean 4 is a machine-checked guarantee, not a guess. Here's what that means, what AI can prove today, and what it can't.

How to Secure AI Agents and Skills Files

SKILL.md files carry full agent privileges and most go unreviewed. Here's the step-by-step framework to inventory, scan, and govern them like production code.
