Corporate AI bans from 2022-2023 were never formally lifted, leaving employees in limbo even as executives demo AI tools at town halls. The post argues organizations owe employees four things: a written policy, a safe sandbox environment, protected learning time, and visible senior leaders being publicly bad at AI. However, no training can substitute for personal hours spent discovering where AI confidently produces wrong answers. A concrete example illustrates this: an AI rewrote a cursor-based stored procedure correctly for SQL Server but wrong for the actual business logic, because it couldn't know what the code was *for*. Practical Monday-morning advice includes asking for a one-line policy, practicing on non-confidential data, and keeping a log of AI failures — which becomes more valuable than any demo. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
