AI to business leader: I did what I was told

Based on this article by Jessica Kriegel posted on LinkedIn.

A new AI Safety Report highlights that artificial intelligence systems are already causing billions of dollars in real-world harm, not due to machine error, but because of leadership failures in setting goals and monitoring outcomes. This reflects a broader trend seen in global outages, where complex systems make it easier for leaders to evade accountability.

The report emphasizes that, like aviation, AI safety requires a strong culture of oversight, monitoring, and human judgment, as responsibility cannot be automated. The article also touches on related themes of "quiet cracking," where employees seek growth organizations fail to provide, and the economic risks of rapid automation, such as Amazon's layoffs, which can undermine both human judgment and long-term consumer demand.
