    What should an employee get back after disclosing an AI use?

    A practical discussion of the first response to employee AI disclosure: a named decision owner, what can continue or must pause, a review date and an alternative that can do the job.

    AI amnesty needs a useful human answer

    An aviation reporting analogy opens a six-post discussion of shadow AI, safe disclosure and the useful human answer employees should receive.

  • RedditDiscussion

    Has anyone actually run an AI amnesty? How did it work?

    A discussion about employee AI disclosure, trust, review ownership and what happens after an amnesty. Invites implementation experiences, results and objections, with background from Mario Thomas's work.

  • XNote

    Read-only access and permission to disclose

    Notes from the AWS and SANS cloud AI session. Three vendor demos illustrate identity, data and agent controls; permission to read data does not automatically include permission to disclose it.

  • RedditDiscussion

    A source-ownership rule can make a correct answer impossible

    A dated development test shows how assigning one passage ID to only one case can stop two AI systems from each citing their evidence. This is a source-contract observation, not a proven model failure or repair.

    Start with what the AI system does

    What does it do, who does it affect, and what is still unknown? Our earlier illustrative animation keeps sources and open questions visible. People make the decision.
