LinkedIn Post 15: Next Steps
Hook: "Your building is smart. Is it governed?"
If you operate AI systems controlling access, space allocation, or emergency protocols, here's what to do now:
Step 1: Audit Your AI
Catalog every algorithmic system affecting occupants. Document what it does, how it decides, and what happens when it fails.
Step 2: Map Your Gaps
Using the five OLGA modules (ACCESS, SPACE, EGRESS, INFORM, OVERRIDE), identify which governance gaps apply to your facility.
Step 3: Implement Quick Wins
Many governance requirements are easy: documentation, audit trails, occupant communication. Start there.
Step 4: Plan Long-Term Governance
For harder requirements (algorithmic transparency, risk-based human review), develop a phased implementation plan over 3-6 months.
Step 5: Consult Qualified Counsel
OLGA is preliminary. Your specific obligations depend on your jurisdiction, facility type, and occupant profile. Get legal advice.
Insight: The cost of governance now is infinitesimal compared to the cost of liability later.
