Postal Inspector (Mid-to-Senior): Postal Inspectors are sworn federal law enforcement officers who investigate mail fraud, execute search warrants, make arrests, and testify in court — sovereign enforcement actions that require human judgment, legal accountability, and physical presence. AI transforms data analysis and fraud detection, but the investigator directing the case is irreplaceable. Safe for 15+ years.
State Attorney General — US (Senior): The State Attorney General is the chief legal officer of a US state — bearing sovereign enforcement authority, directing litigation strategy, and increasingly leading AI regulation and consumer protection enforcement as the primary state-level check on algorithmic harm. AI transforms legal research, case preparation, and data analysis but cannot exercise prosecutorial discretion, lead multistate coalitions, or bear constitutional accountability for enforcement decisions. Safe for 10+ years.
