9-09 establish Accountability ecosystem - before enabling AI delirium, why?

What triggered me to this topic is My fear, "accountability must first be ingrained at an organizational level" lest AI takes its own decisions, making human oversight purposeless.

As we embrace the transformative potential of AI, we must pause and ask ourselves—are we ready? If accountability isn’t ingrained within the heart of our organizations, AI could evolve into an uncontrollable force. Without human oversight, ethical governance could falter, making our organizations vulnerable to consequences we may not fully comprehend.

“While Siemens demonstrates the perils of ignored conduct codes, Volkswagen’s cheat software highlights operational lapses on a massive scale, whereas Infosys’s glitch on IT Portal left the public high and dry. Together big companies have failed to assure the public on incorporating Accountability ecosystem in place after the deluge”.

AI thrives on the data and systems it is given, but it does not inherently carry the moral compass that ensures decisions align with human values. If accountability ecosystems aren’t robust, AI’s decision-making could drift unchecked. What was once an innovative tool could become a perilous master.

Agentic AI presents a promising solution—by operating under human oversight, it ensures accountability is upheld in every transaction. But this oversight is meaningless if our organizations lack accountability foundations to begin with. Are we fit to wield AI, or are we building castles on sand?

“Before entrusting AI with billions of decisions that shape lives and businesses, we must first entrust ourselves with accountability. Let’s equip our people with the training, frameworks, and discipline needed to shoulder this responsibility. Only then can AI truly augment our capabilities, rather than overshadow them.”
