Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than our ability to govern it. Most discussions focus on ethics, safety, or regulation—but they overlook a deeper question:What principle should guide intelligence that increasingly shapes human civilization?In Continuity: The Essential Guiding Principle of AI Governance, David Rajan argues that the answer is continuity—the preservation and stability of human civilization under uncertainty.AI systems do not begin with human understanding. They begin with compression, learning patterns from vast data rather than lived experience. As these systems begin influencing economies, institutions, and infrastructure, governance must ensure that their operation strengthens—not destabilizes—the long-term continuity of society.This book offers a clear and practical framework for thinking about AI governance in the age of intelligent systems.A concise and thought-provoking guide for readers interested in AI, the future of civilization, and the principles that must guide the next era of intelligence.
