Vitruvyan · a vision for decision intelligence
Intelligence should strengthen human judgment.
Vitruvyan is a vision for human-centred decision intelligence: artificial intelligence that helps people understand complexity, weigh evidence and alternatives, and reach decisions they can explain and stand behind.
One vision. Two systems.
The machine is derived from the body, and the derivation is legible.
Leonardo da Vinci, Paris Manuscript B, c. 1487 · plate
Why it matters
An answer is not a decision.
Systems that produce answers are now easy to come by. Decisions that matter are not. They need context, evidence, more than one perspective, the alternatives that were set aside, and the uncertainty that remains — laid out so the person who has to choose can actually weigh them.
Vitruvyan exists to put those qualities between artificial intelligence and human decision.
The principles
Four commitments.
Human-centred
Intelligence should strengthen judgment, not absorb it. Authority and responsibility stay with the person who decides.Plural by design
A serious decision should not rest on a single opaque voice. It should come from evidence and perspectives allowed to disagree with each other.Explainable
Reasons, evidence, alternatives, conflicts and uncertainty have to be legible to the person deciding, while they are still deciding.Accountable
The rules, the responsibility and the path taken stay identifiable, and stay checkable later.
From vision to systems
One vision. Two systems.
