Assembly Member — Welsh Senedd / NI Assembly (Mid-to-Senior): Devolved Assembly Members are structurally protected by democratic accountability, statutory requirements for elected human representatives, and constituent trust. AI transforms research, casework triage, and drafting workflows but cannot hold devolved office, vote in plenary, or bear political accountability. Safe for 10+ years, likely indefinite.

Diplomat / Ambassador (Senior): The senior diplomat represents sovereign authority in person — negotiating treaties, managing bilateral crises, and building the trust relationships that underpin international order. AI transforms the intelligence, reporting, and briefing layer but cannot negotiate on behalf of a state, bear diplomatic immunity, or cultivate the personal trust that resolves geopolitical disputes. Safe for 10+ years.
