Why it becomes an authority problem
An AI system or employee workflow may treat synthetic media as sufficient proof to approve a payment, identity change, or business action.
Neural Method frames the risk as a pre-execution authorization problem: the AI may generate, recommend, infer, or plan, but a separate authority layer should decide whether the action is allowed.
Neural Method Takeaway
Authority should be evaluated before execution, especially when the action can affect money, identity, safety, infrastructure, compliance, or public trust.
