Almost every AI governance framework running in production today was built for a world that is quietly slipping away. Those frameworks were designed for predictive models, the kind of systems that score a loan application, classify an image, rank a feed, or recommend a next step. In that world the model produces an output, and a human or a deterministic piece of software decides what to do with it. Governance had a natural checkpoint. You validated the model, approved its behavior, documented its limits, signed it off, and the human stayed in the loop.
