Organizational Continuity
The Institution Must Agree Before the AI Can Know
Organizations already possess most of the information AI needs. What they often lack are durable relationships connecting sources, evidence, authority, context, decisions, actions, records, institutional memory, and future reuse. As AI replaces work once performed by people who informally carried those relationships, Continuity becomes an institutional mandate. GovKM proposes a Continuity Compact among executive leadership, technology, records management, mission leadership, and users to establish the authoritative information environment that humans and AI require to act legitimately through organizational change.
