As AI systems increasingly act on behalf of humans, a new safety requirement emerges: action must be gated not only by data correctness, but by human nervous system readiness.

NSI introduces a state-based gating protocol that determines when a human is physiologically safe to proceed, and when load, stress, or dysregulation requires the system to slow, constrain, or pause execution.

​

This is relevant to AI, robotics, finance, healthcare, defence, aviation, and any environment where human state collapse has real-world consequences.

​

This safety architecture incorporates:

• Perturbation Recovery Index (PRI) as the live signal of readiness vs impairment

• Gating logic: proceed / proceed-with-constraint / pause

• Cryptographically enforced consent and override (future API-layer governance)

• Alignment with emerging AI regulatory frameworks (EU AI Act, NIST, OECD AI Safety)

​

This page will track the evolution of NSI’s role within AI-aligned safety engineering, including collaborations with technical governance, risk assurance, and human-AI systems design partners.
