Most technology leaders think they’re deciding how to adopt AI.
They’re not.
They’re deciding how much instability their department can absorb.
Because the real pressure isn’t the technology.
It’s the pace at which expectations are forming around it.
Move too slowly, and you’re questioned.
Move too quickly, and you create commitments your team can’t sustain.
So you end up regulating something that isn’t fully understood yet — while being expected to sound like it is.
That’s where the tension actually sits.
Not in the tools.
In the trade-offs you’re carrying underneath them.
