Governor argues that AI systems behave unpredictably in production: models can hallucinate, outputs vary between versions, and changes are often non-deterministic.

Former GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke once told James Governor, “You can’t do AI-based development without progressive delivery.” It’s a striking
