Give rank-and-file employees access to all the data? LOL. Middle managers will never allow that and will shift blame to intrasingent employees. Of course Economist is pandering to that. LLMs are fundamentally very bad at compartmentalized access.

I didn't say all the data. In fact, what you are suggesting is exactly what I mean. The compartmentalized access is exactly the bridge we need.

In fact, giving RBAC functionality to middle managers would be a key component to any strategy for AI deployment activity. You want traceability/auditability. Give the middle managers charts, logs, visibility into who is using what data with which LLMs. Give them levers to grant and deny access. Give them metrics on outcomes from the use of the data. This could eve even make legal happy.

This missing layer will exist, its just a matter of time.
