As AI moves from generating text to taking independent action, many deployments still rely on software to keep software in check:
API permissions, LLM guardrails and cloud connectivity. These controls share a weakness with the system they protect.
Neural models are probabilistic, and they are exposed to hallucination, prompt injection, data poisoning and sensor drift.
When a loss-of-signal event cuts off human oversight, or a network is compromised, software-only safeguards can be bypassed or stop working
at the moment they are needed most. Without an independent checkpoint between the model and the machine, a wrong decision becomes a physical action.
