Thinking in Public
Deloitte charged the Australian government A$440,000 for a report, and parts of it were made up.
It cited research papers that don't exist and quoted a court ruling with words the judge never wrote. The fixed version said AI was used to write it. Deloitte paid back part of the money (the AP story).
Every business has this problem now. Work lands on your desk, and you can't tell who did it, the person or the AI.
So the big companies check the person. Google, Cisco and McKinsey brought back in-person interviews for some jobs (Computerworld). Amazon tells recruiters they can drop a candidate who uses AI in the interview (ITPro).
The cheapest check is one question: walk me through it. MIT had students write essays with ChatGPT. Right after, none of them could correctly quote a line from their own essay (the study).
Give them one piece of the actual job to do in front of you. You see how they think before any AI touches it.
Everything that goes to a client has one person who signs for it. If it's wrong, that person fixes it.
When work comes in, ask how they got there. If they can't explain it, the AI did the work.
The AI Audit maps every task AI can do in your business. Then you decide who signs for each one.
