Internal incentive structures need to be aligned with the risk incurred by the business and in some cases society. I’m sure the rationalization is an appeal to the immature “move fast and break things” dogma. My day job is about delivery of technology services to a distributed enterprise. 9 figure budget, a couple of thousand employees, countless contractors. If “everyone” is responsible, nobody is responsible. My business doesn’t have the potential to impact elections or enable genocide like Facebook. But if an AI partner or service leaks sensitive data from the magic box, procurements could be compromised, inferences about events that are not public can be inferred, and in some cases human safety could be at elevated risk. I’m working on an AI initiative now that will save me a lot of money. Time to market is important to my compensation. But the impact of a big failure, at the most selfish level, is the implosion of my career. So the task order isn’t signed until the due diligence is done.
