Humans of AI: Presented by WRITER When AI acts autonomously, who's accountable? With WRITER’s General Counsel Rowan Reynolds
What does accountability mean when AI can make thousands of decisions before a human even notices? That’s the question Rowan Reynolds, General Counsel at Writer, is tackling.
Rowan shares how his background in philosophy and law taught him that legal frameworks aren't just about what's legal—they're about what's right. And in the age of agentic AI, building those frameworks before disasters happen means treating AI agents like privileged users who work at far greater speed and scale than any employee.
Rowan discusses the three core principles that make AI trustworthy (transparency, human-centricity, and security), and why companies are worried about the wrong things when the real challenge is organizational change. From the difference between "Big G" enterprise-wide governance and "little g" day-to-day deployment, to why we're building this in real time with no established playbook, Rowan offers a framework for building AI systems right instead of just asking what could go wrong.
