What happens when an AI system forgets what it was built to do?AI Identity Drift explores how adaptive AI systems—trained to learn but not to remember their purpose—can slowly lose alignment with their institutional role.
The result isn’t just a technical error. It’s a UX and governance crisis: users face decisions they can’t challenge, systems drift without detection, and trust erodes silently.
This series proposes a new framework for AI governance—centered on Trust, Alignment, and Recourse (TAR)—and shows why explainability, stability, and contestability must be built into every AI-driven experience.
If your AI can change itself, your oversight must evolve with it.
