Weekly Dose of GenAI Adoption - Episode 96
Sat Feb 07 2026
This newsletter excerpt by Indy Sawhney outlines a tiered risk framework designed to manage the growing challenge of unregulated AI usage within large organizations. The author proposes a structured governance model that categorizes AI agents into three distinct tiers based on their autonomy and data sensitivity. High-stakes applications require rigorous monitoring and legal oversight, while lower-risk tools focus on building operational muscle memory through simpler intake forms. To bridge the gap between executive policy and technical practice, leaders are encouraged to evaluate every AI pilot using three core questions regarding data origin, human intervention, and personal accountability. Ultimately, the text argues that enterprises must balance innovation speed with safety protocols to scale generative AI effectively without incurring technical debt.
