Starter questions

Written to probe curiosity and learning, not accusation.

1. 01If we named this complication in advance, what small, reversible step would let us learn?
2. 02How would we know we were getting this wrong? What would we observe, without blaming a person?
3. 03What would trustworthiness look like here: what we do, what we say, and the belief others form?
4. 04What would it look like if we held “AI in intelligence analysis” with proportion rather than alarm?
