> I am having a really hard time communicating this problem to executives
When you hit such a wall, you might not be failing to communicate, nor them failing to understand. In reality, said executives have probably chosen to ignore the issue, but also don't want to take accountability for the eventual leaks. So "not understanding" is the easiest way to blame the engineers later.
- lupusreal 1y agoIt doesn't even need to be blaming the engineers in this case, they can blame "the AI" and most people will accept that and let whatever incident happened slide. If somebody questions the wisdom of putting AI in such a position, they can be dismissed as not appreciating new technology (even though their concern is valid.)

- jeltz 1y agoYeah, it is usually not about blaming the engineers in my experience. It is about so they can make a descion they want to make without having to think too hard or take any accountability. If nobody knew at the time it was bad everyone can just act surprised and call it an accident and just go on with their lives making similar uninformed descisions. In their dream world the engineers would not know about it either. Edit: Maybe we should call this style vibe management. :D
- Lu2025 1y agoYep. AI is wonderful for IP laundering and accountability laundering (is this even a term? It is now!)
- flir 1y ago"the AI did it" is going to be the new "somebody hacked my facebook account" I wish I had a way of ensuring culpability remains with the human who published the text, regardless of who/what authored it.
- tough 1y agoif you're in a regulated field like law or medicine and you fuck up signing some AI slop with your name, you should loose your license at the very least tools are fine to use, personal responsability is still required. Companies already fuck up with this too much
- flir 1y agoI think it needs to be a cultural expectation. I don't know how we get there, though.
- admissionsguy 1y agoworse, they can be dismissed as an abstract ”ai is dangerous” and used to justify funnelling money to the various ai safety charlatans
- p3rls 1y agoIn this case it looks like the executives should fire the OP and hire the 2nd poster who came up with a solution. C'mon lazy executives.
