Risk Discipline — Turning AI Ambition into Controlled Advantage (Dawgen TRUST™ Framework)

February 8, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Executive Summary Most AI failures are not “model problems”—they are risk discipline failures: unclear risk appetite, weak controls, poor monitoring, and no escalation path when things go wrong.
