  • The consequences are not only a cost problem, they also show up as business impact.
  • His read is that the equilibrium comes back, raising the question of how much AI gets approved and deployed before it does.

Description from the channel

The pressure to be inside the AI investment cycle is currently beating the rules companies wrote for themselves. That is the claim, and it is worth separating from the usual version of this argument. He is not saying governance is weak, or that these firms never had standards. He is saying they have them, they know what they are, and the fear of being outside the cycle is overriding them anyway. The consequence is not only a cost problem. It shows up as business impact. His read is that this corrects — that the equilibrium comes back. Which is the measured version of the position, and also the one that raises the harder question: how much gets approved, deployed and embedded in the period before it does.
