Middle managers: when these orders come down to you, and they likely will, do not comply in advance.

-If the order is unethical, don't do it.
-If the order is immoral, don't do it.

Servant leadership means protecting your people - so protect them.

My favorite manager handled our 1:1s in a way that disarmed me - she let me set the tone and topic, and didn't treat it like a status report

Removing the regulatory requirement for safe AI development does not remove the moral requirement for such. I'll watch for the final AI Action Plan, but still champion safe, ethical, and thoughtful AI development and application regardless of the regulatory outlook
