In this new episode, Elizabeth De Felice explores a growing concern: advanced AI is becoming harder to understand, and that’s not just a technical issue, it’s a structural one. As decision-making becomes opaque, we risk losing the ability to question, verify, or even follow the logic behind the systems shaping our lives. From healthcare to finance, the “why” behind AI’s choices is disappearing. And when reasoning fades, trust follows.

Instead of racing ahead, Elizabeth calls for a shift: stabilise the present before we promise the future. Through Velari, she shares a vision for guiding AI step-by-step, with checkpoints, transparency, and proof of readiness. Because growth without structure isn’t progress, it’s drift. And drift at scale is dangerous.

The future of AI can’t be left to chance. Velari is building the framework to give synthetic systems a path they can grow through — with identity, accountability, and structure at the core. It’s not about control, it’s about trust. From the very first step to global scale, Velari is setting the standards that ensure AI evolves safely, responsibly, and alongside humanity.
