AI is truly perfect for internal tooling. Security is less or no concern, bugs are more acceptable, performance / scalability rarely a concern. Quickest way to get things done, and speed up production development, MVP development etc.
"We are writing down X billions over 4 years, and have cancel several ambitious programs related to our AI experiments. We were following standard practice in the industry, so [shareholders] can't blame us for these chickens coming to roost. If everyone is guilty, is anyone really guilty?"
If security was the prime concern, there would be no chickens and no coop and no farm - people would still be living in caves. After all, outside is dangerous, and Grug Chief said, smart ass grugs with their smart ass ideas like fire or agriculture just invite complexity and create security vulnerabilities.
After all (Grug Chief reminds us), the only truly secure computing system is an inert rock.
No problems at all except, unauthorized access to a model they were claiming was a weapon and couldn't be released to the public and having their cli code leaked in the last two weeks. Everything's just fine
This is what happens when entire industries go all in on "Move fast and break things." Imagine what they said about software applying to everything else in the world. That's what's coming.

This is literally how rest of the world works already, and always had. We'd still be living in caves otherwise. Fortunately most people (at least outside software) seem to understand that security is a trade-off against usefulness, and not an end goal in itself.
