I never thought I would be quoting a catholic perspective on the morality of AI for a hot take, but here we are. 100% agree with Pope Leo's take here. There are significant limitations of AI that we need to remember here. AI has no soul. It has only pattern recognition.

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

Your board asked you to "manage AI risk." You can't see most of it. Shadow IT took years to scale. Shadow AI scales in months. Your governance doesn't scale with it. 55% of security teams are understaffed. You govern what you see. The question: What does your board actually see?

This is important enough to get it's own tweet so you can hear it in the back: If #identity recovery is weaker than login, attackers will use recovery.

Reduce seasonal attack paths now:
remove dormant vendor
expire temp roles
review service accounts with access to commerce and loyalty APIs
separate help desk rights from identity admin rights
test the break-glass path

AI is scaling faster than data security. Cisco’s 2026 benchmark says only 12% of orgs consider their AI governance mature. Another 2026 survey found 73% are deploying AI, but only 7% govern it well in real time. That 66-point gap should concern every security leader. #AISecurity

My takeaway from the BDO team’s SATAN-to-#Mythos analysis: industry is scaling #AI-enabled attack faster than AI #integrity controls. We still have major gaps in verifying model behavior, data trust, and agent actions end to end. Read this: bdo.com/insights/advisory/th…

6% of orgs see real #AI ROI (McKinsey, 2025).
High performers are 3× more likely to have senior leaders who personally use and role-model AI.
The bottleneck isn't your model choice. It's your #leadership behavior.

What does that actually look like?
High performers are 3× more likely to have fundamentally redesigned workflows around AI — not just added tools to old ones. (McKinsey, 2025)
That's a leadership call, not an engineering one. (1/2)
