The decision line
Executive Take
Governance frameworks manage AI risk but do not tell you where AI belongs in your business. That call is a leadership decision, not a technical one, and skipping it means it gets made by default.
Executive Summary
A CIO.com opinion piece argues that organizations are deploying AI without deciding where AI should decide, where it should advise, and where human judgment must lead. The author calls this the "decision line," illustrated with examples from accounts payable automation, logistics planning, and restaurant site selection, where AI models missed context that experienced staff caught.
Why It Matters
HR and technology leaders are handing AI decision-making authority by default every time they deploy a tool without discussing it. Leadership teams that skip this conversation lose control over accountability when AI recommendations go wrong.
Bizquad Perspective
Most leaders think this is a technology rollout problem, but it is really an accountability problem that only gets harder to fix once AI recommendations become routine and unquestioned.
