responsible AI

Most organisations now have an AI strategy. Very few have asked what it is doing to the planet. That is not an abstract concern. It is a capital allocation question with a measurable environmental consequence attached to it. Boards are declining to ask it. The omission will not age well.

Call this the rising floor. Every useful machine absorbs the layer of work it can do better than people. The human contribution does not vanish. It moves upward, into judgement, selection, taste, and ethics, questions a machine cannot answer for you because they are not technical questions at all. That is where AI is heading now, into code, legal drafting, HR policy, marketing copy, the layer of execution that used to define a competent professional.
