Independent interpretive advisory on AI-mediated systems and environments.

About the Advisory

Neale Welch provides independent interpretive advisory on AI-mediated systems and environments. His work concerns how meaning is formed, stabilised, and relied upon once AI systems mediate language, decisions, and public understanding.

This work centres on interpretive judgement at moments where ambiguity, representation, or intent may become binding. This includes examining how AI systems are likely to resolve meaning, where interpretive risk arises once mediation occurs, and how particular framings or claims propagate downstream after adoption by models, institutions, or markets.

The focus is on points at which interpretation acquires consequence. It addresses how meaning is effectively fixed once AI-mediated representations are treated as authoritative, regardless of original intent.

Interpretation as Infrastructure

As AI systems increasingly mediate language, decisions, and public understanding, interpretation ceases to be provisional. Meaning does not remain open-ended once models are required to act, summarise, classify, or decide.

In these conditions, interpretation becomes infrastructure. It shapes outcomes long after original intent has faded, and it persists through repetition, delegation, and reliance.

This work exists because that interpretive layer now has consequence, whether or not it is acknowledged, named, or intentionally designed for.

Scope and Limits

This work does not assess whether outcomes are ethical, fair, compliant, or desirable. It is concerned solely with how meaning is resolved and relied upon once AI mediation occurs.

The work is analytical and judgement-based rather than implementational. It does not involve system building, optimisation, delivery, certification, or enforcement. It is provided for informational purposes rather than as professional, legal, or technical advice.

The work examines conditions under which meaning becomes consequential; it does not direct, determine, or prescribe decisions taken on the basis of that meaning.
