The biggest risk in your AI strategy? What quietly disappears when AI handles the work that builds expertise. Here are three questions to pressure-test your exposure👇

These questions aren’t being asked by most organizations not because they're careless, but because the cost doesn't show up until you need it and discover you can't rebuild it on demand. This is the Cognitive Rust Belt.

1️⃣ If your senior staff retired tomorrow, could your juniors replicate their "smell test" decisions using only the AI tools provided?

2️⃣ Are you building workflows that require active human trade-offs, or "verification loops" where a human just clicks "approve"?

In this blog, Chris St.Myers argues that organizations feel "safe" today because AI is still hard to use. They are busy debugging prompts and fixing hallucinations. But this technical friction is masking a long-term problem.

By automating the "grunt work" of junior analysts, organizations aren't increasing efficiency. They are removing the very gym that builds the mental muscles for high-level judgment. 🧠💪
