Staying in Control While AI Systems Run


Protection can reduce the likelihood of AI failure, but it cannot eliminate it. As AI systems move from providing recommendations to taking autonomous action, organizations need effective ways to intervene before a mistake becomes irreversible.


The Oversight pillar of Vertex11’s The 15 Guardrails of AI focuses on two essential capabilities:

-Human-in-the-Loop Approval

-Incident Response & Kill Switch

Together, these guardrails contain nine controls designed to place meaningful human judgment at consequential decision points, rapidly halt dangerous behavior, contain failures, and strengthen controls after an incident.

The controls have been validated against NIST AI RMF 1.0, the EU AI Act, ETSI TS 104 223, and ISO/IEC 42001:2023.
