The Truth Can Hurt Even More When It's Too Late

An industry-leading company recently commissioned two outside firms to perform an objective assessment of its corporate ethics program. Each assessment was extensive, involving interviews with anyone who wanted to talk, and people selected by the teams, ranging from middle management to the CEO. Collectively, the two assessments had interviews or focus groups with over 1000 people at every major location. This probably represents the most comprehensive assessment of ethics program effectiveness factors completed in 2003. (One of the assessments was completed by the law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, LLP. The assessment team was led by former Senator Warren Rudman, and their findings were published on Nov. 3, 2003. The other assessment was completed by Ethical Leadership Group, and their findings were published on Oct. 23, 2003.)

Agentic AI introduces risks that are novel and complex, but the most effective response is a familiar one. Zero Trust answers the problem of when an AI agent misfires on its own by constraining what an agent can do rather than betting on how it will behave.
