The Wrong Default
The most consequential AI decisions inside an organization are often the ones no one is actually making. The defaults take hold, and by the time anyone notices, the cost is already paid. This publication is named for that pattern, and it is about taking those decisions back.
What this is
The Wrong Default is a briefing on AI governance, published twice a week, for the people accountable for AI inside operating organizations.
Each edition takes one structural problem and works it through: how AI is actually shaping decisions, standards, and behavior inside the business, and what it takes to govern that on purpose rather than by default.
It is not about tools. It is not about automation or productivity. It is about what happens after AI starts working inside your organization, and whether anyone is deciding what it does and what it learns.
Who it’s for
Leaders and operators past the “should we use AI” stage and into the harder one: how do we govern what AI is already doing inside the organization.
If you are accountable for decisions, standards, or outcomes in a business that runs on AI, this is written for you. Boards, executives, general counsel, risk and security leaders, and the operators who carry the consequences.
Why subscribe
Every edition gives you one thing most organizations are not thinking about yet and will wish they had: a concept, a structural problem, or a governance move you can use.
It arrives Tuesdays and Thursdays. No noise, no hype, no generic AI content. One structured insight at a time, written for the people who own the decision.
You own the decision.
