Governance Substrate
K57
As machines take part in consequential decisions, they inherit the duty to account for them. K57 gives automated judgment an account of itself as complete as any auditor, regulator, or tribunal would expect.
01
The question that follows every decision.
When an automated decision is challenged, the inquiry rarely stops at what the system concluded. It turns to the material behind the conclusion, and to where, precisely, responsibility lies.
K57 allows that account to be given plainly, and to hold up long after the decision itself.
02
Responsibility, made legible.
When an automated decision goes wrong, K57 helps establish where the failure lay, clearly and without conjecture. It does not judge the model, and it does not second-guess the outcome. It makes the question of fault answerable.
Embodiments
Wherever automated judgment carries weight.
Clinical decision support
When a recommendation is questioned, a complete account of the record behind it.
Clinical trial matching
A defensible account of how each patient’s matches were made.
Credit underwriting
Adverse-action decisions that can be explained in full, to applicants and regulators alike.
E-discovery
Review decisions that can be accounted for, document by document.
Claims adjudication
Determinations that withstand appeal, because their basis is fully accounted for.
Security operations
Escalation decisions whose basis can be reviewed with confidence after an incident.
Grid dispatch
Dispatch decisions that remain explicable under scrutiny, even when telemetry is imperfect.
Pharmacovigilance
Safety assessments whose completeness can be shown across successive reviews.
Autonomous vehicles
When a vehicle acts, a clear answer to where responsibility lies.
A decision should be able to account for itself.
K57 makes it so.
