When builders become users: the judgment gap at scale
Amazon, Microsoft, and Boeing face a unique problem. Your teams design AI systems for millions of users. But inside your own organizations, people often lack the authority or skills to override what those systems produce. Engineers who built the logic cannot question the output. Operators follow recommendations without understanding why.
This gap widens as AI moves from research labs into production. Your systems make decisions about inventory, supply chains, hiring, and safety. When human judgment disappears, so does your ability to catch errors before they compound. The cost of learning by failure increases exponentially.
Steve's keynote shows how leading organizations in Seattle are rebuilding human judgment into their processes. Not as a check on AI. As the operating system for how AI gets used.
What your executives and teams will take away
Steve speaks directly to the people building and deploying AI at scale. He focuses on practical structures: how to maintain override capacity, how to train judgment faster than AI changes, how to make correction visible instead of invisible.
The talk works for technology leaders, product teams, safety officers, and operations executives. It moves beyond theory into the specific choices your organization makes every day about who gets to question AI output and how.
You'll leave with a framework for preserving human judgment as a core operational capability, not a compliance box to tick.
