The data on AI vendor risk tells a less dramatic, more useful story than the sales pitch: a real coverage gap, real procurement friction, and very little evidence anyone is writing large new checks.
Part I of III. Orbital AI data centers don't have a bandwidth problem, they have a heat problem: a thermodynamic law no one can bargain with, hiding one layer beneath the laser downlinks everyone argues about.
Part II of III. Going to orbit doesn't subtract a regulator, it stacks several incompatible sovereigns onto one moving object, and the seams between their legal theories are where accountability dies.
Part III of III. The governance gap orbit creates is filled by nothing but operator discretion, and the analysts we'd use to check that discretion are paid by the same people whose discretion is in question.
AI governance keeps landing on program managers' desks whether the org chart says so or not. A case for treating the discipline as architecture, not administration.
Inside an open-source terms-of-service risk engine built to run entirely on local, on-device models, and what it means to make a governance idea operational.
Constraints, safety, and provenance are load-bearing structure, not paperwork bolted on after launch. A design stance for building AI systems that cannot be configured into failure.
A reflection on leading AI governance for a hiring system used across a large multi-brand retail footprint, and what consent, bias, and dignity look like from the applicant's side of the screen.
