Very well written, Opher! We should consider AI governance as part of our hybrid AI solutions for our clients & this actionable next step in the article is a good beginning:

"Before your next AI deployment, ask the person in your organization who is most excited about it — not to slow them down, but to answer one question:

When this fails, who is responsible — and what exactly do they say?"

Amazing concept. Unfortunately many agents are not built by their owners, companies are hiring “experts”. To build an agent is a very simple task anyone can learn, yet, to build good agent and workflow very few are capable of doing. Many organizations are very slow to adapt, they think governance before, instead of while.

Thanks for this timely and much-needed warning.

It's truly frightening to see and think about what companies (and governments) are leaving to AI with no "human in the loop."

Thank you, David, you know how much I appreciate your brilliant mind. They are excited about the risk they are taking. They hire young AI engineers with no life experience. It is just a matter of time before they realize that in the big promise of AI, there is a big risk they can not see, and upfront governance is not the answer

The disillusionment seems to be already starting.

There are so many tells in this post that it was written itself by A.I.

First, you are wrong. You assume, yet I was there in this situation, in the Uber, I am the protagonist. I know, you guess. Second, if this story was the imagination of an AI and attracting the user, and the reader could have learned even from a faked experience, then it had a meaning.

If someone was able to convince the Jews in 1938 what Hitler was going to do, the fake story would have saved the life of six million.

AI can write and that is a fact, people read it, and that is another fact.

Yet, in this case you are wrong.
