What if · the follow-ups in this answer

The answer works through 6 follow-ups like an interviewer would

Nobody can say who owns the risk when a customer-facing AI assistant gives harmful advice, and each team points to another.

  1. Who should be accountable for the system's risk?
  2. Who is responsible for what?
  3. Why write the RACI per activity rather than per team?
  4. What if the harmful advice came from a provider model change?
  5. How do you make the RACI stick?
  6. What ownership model would you propose?

Each rung has a nudge, a model answer, the principle that carries over and the weak answer to avoid. Premium opens every answer and ladder.
