The AI Action Summit just wrapped in Paris, and it’s all about the money, baby. €200 billion from the EU, €110 billion from France. Everybody’s hyped about economic opportunity, but I’ve got to ask: where’s the roadmap for ethics?

We’ve seen this movie before—tech gets funded fast, regulators scramble late, and the public gets burned. If you’re building or using AI right now, my advice? Make your own ethical guardrails, because the big boys are still busy counting checks.

For my sisters and brothers in leadership: ask the hard questions before the fallout. Ethics should be baked in, not bolted on.
