What I’m working on

Knowledge Graphs for decision-making and provenance with AI

How can a knowledge graph organise information so that AI-assisted decisions carry their provenance — every answer traceable to evidence, every uncertain extraction kept out of the canonical graph until it is curated?

Construction.AI
Baseball.AI

Agentic software engineering

What agentic development has actually built versus what it has measured, and how to govern agents so their output is reviewable, reproducible and honest?

AI safety

Whether a model's stated reasoning is faithful to its computation, and how to tell from the inside.

The Traffic.AI grounding-guardrail and honest-null work also belongs here as applied safety.
