The visual accompanying this piece depicts the divergence between the rate of AI/LLM deployment and governance integration, capturing the structural imbalance defining this technological epoch. This divergence, which I refer to as the AI Integrity Gap , represents the zone where Bias, Misinformation, and Error (BME) propagate unchecked. The...
