Reversible commitments under fast AI growth Decisions, deployments and delegations made to or by AI systems are reversible by design, with a documented path, a defined party able to revoke them, and a defined cost, so that a fast-moving capability cannot lock in choices that slower-moving human and biosphere institutions did not intend to ratify. Irreversibility is treated as a property to be justified, not a default to be assumed.
When AI outpaces institutions, irreversible commitments become one-way doors. The page names 'Revocable delegation' as a candidate theme. Reversibility is what turns a pace mismatch from lock-in into a recoverable error, and it is the property that lets the slower institutions catch up without inheriting permanent damage.
