Choosing Your Early-Stage AI Stack

Redact personal data, anonymize logs, and consider on-device inference for sensitive flows. Start compliance habits early to prevent rework. If you wrestle with regulatory questions, comment, and we will cover a focused playbook next.

Ethics, Safety, and Trust by Design

Show when AI is assisting, offer simple explanations, and display confidence levels where it helps decisions. Give users control over automation. Share a tricky disclosure scenario, and we will brainstorm respectful options.

Use bandits for rapid learnings, but freeze changes for high-risk areas. Keep holdout groups for ground truth. Comment on your experiment stack, and we will compare approaches across startup stages.
