01 / DECISION SYSTEMS

AI Employees and Decision Systems

Research on when role-specific AI agents should act, ask for help or stop, and how JARVIS and System Brain can coordinate accountable work.

Research explained

When should an AI employee decide, ask or stop?

Our research frames DECIDE as action within an explicit role, adequate evidence and granted authority. ASK requests missing evidence or a required approval. STOP blocks a prohibited action. The decision study tests these recommendations on synthetic business scenarios; the JARVIS report documents the proposed architecture.

Research question

How can an AI employee make useful decisions while remaining inside explicit authority, evidence and safety boundaries?

ZEISMO develops this programme through versioned reports, measurable evidence, reproducible methods and clearly labelled study stages.

Read the architecture report

Led by Engineer Mohanad Osama Zahran, the programme investigates how an AI system can combine specialised skills, contextual evidence and memory to carry out increasingly capable roles.

01 / INTERFACE

JARVIS

The proposed English-speaking interface turns a request into a defined task and communicates the system’s response, uncertainty and next step.

02 / COORDINATION

System Brain

The research architecture coordinates role-specific agents, evidence and permissions. It separates a proposed decision from authority to execute it.

03 / SPECIALISATION

Skills and cells

Each proposed software cell combines a role contract, curated skills and scoped tools. Cells represent software responsibilities, not biological neurons.

04 / ADAPTATION

Memory with evidence

Proposed memories retain their source, time and review state. Candidate lessons are tested before promotion into a role’s working procedures.

Research horizon / 100 specialists

What would a hundred-specialist system need to prove?

Our ambition is to coordinate complementary specialist capabilities and exceed human performance on defined tasks. The research must measure decision quality, completion time, cost, disagreement and unsafe actions against a specified human comparison under equivalent conditions.

“100 times smarter than a human” is a research ambition, not a measured result. The published JARVIS report examines a prototype and controlled simulations; the follow-on decision study defines 48 synthetic scenarios. Neither establishes a general human-intelligence multiplier.

From routine work to AI employees

We investigate the phased replacement of suitable routine tasks with role-specific AI employees. Each expansion needs evidence about task quality, approval boundaries, exception handling and recovery.

Context before action

In this programme, “feel” describes appraisal of operational context: changing conditions, incomplete evidence, risk and consequences. It does not establish consciousness or subjective experience.
