Democratize AI Access or Gate It? Binary Business - BB-10

A company gave everyone AI access on Monday. By Friday, someone asked it to write a termination letter for their own manager. It did. Very professional. HR found out when the employee accidentally sent it to the manager.

Meanwhile, another company had traders using AI to generate client communications with made-up regulatory citations. Fake laws. Completely invented compliance language. Seven figures in fines later, they learned a lesson about "figure it out" energy.

In this episode, I break down when to democratize AI access versus when to gate it using the ABCD framework.

**What You'll Learn:**
• The governance delay tax vs. the hallucination liability bomb
• Why "everyone" isn't a coherent category for AI access decisions
• The three-tier workforce segmentation model
• Why 100% access with 8% usage is digital decoration, not transformation
• The five-level access framework that actually works
• How "security theater for AI" makes risk invisible instead of reducing it
