Do 🚫NOT confuse decisions and actions.

I see many that advocate for #AIGovernance simply confuse the two.

🚩Decision ≠ Action

In a multi-actor environment where AI, humans, and systems make decisions and take actions, this separation matters even more.

Decisions do not change state.
Actions do.

What it means is actions must be authorized and governed.

Guess what… who can take this action, under what circumstances?
💡That is a decision.

The #DecisionGovernance MUST answer action authorization questions.
…and ✨execute the actions based on decision outcomes.

How?

Actions are not random, ad-hoc code.
They are explicit models, part of an event-driven, multi-actor and long-running orchestration.

This means:
â­• Not any caller can move the process forward
â­• No execution happens without authorization
â­• Not any signal can trigger execution
â­• Not any service can wake up a stage
â­• Not any actor can take any action

In the decision everything is governed and controlled:
• Decision
• Context
• Action
• Data

It is all controlled and governed through:
✅ Models
✅ Access
✅ Execution

Through explicit models for all of them, and no one can bypass it because everything is registered and enforced within the platform.
