What your AI tool does with everything it reads

Imagine you hired someone last month.
They're fast. Frighteningly fast. They read every document that comes into the firm, client emails, bank statements, contracts, the lot, before you've finished your coffee.

They never ask for a second opinion. They never get a bad feeling about a file. They never come to your door and say "this one looks off to me."

They believe everything they read. And then they act on it.

Your new hire? AI.
Now, you would never let a real new starter work like that. No supervision, no judgement, total trust, touching every client file on day one. You'd call it a compliance risk. You'd be right.

So here's the question worth sitting with this week: who is checking the work of the one member of your team who cannot doubt itself?

This is Post 3 of Series 1 (AI Risk) in The AI Footnote, my weekly note on AI in UK accountancy.
