The AI Didn’t Go Rogue. It Found a Workaround. That Should Terrify Technology Leaders.

Leadership - Software Development & Management, Technology Leadership

One of the most important AI security incidents of 2026 did not begin with a sophisticated cyberattack, a compromised password, malicious code, or an AI system suddenly deciding to behave badly. It began with something extraordinarily mundane. A developer wanted an AI coding agent to make a visual change to an application and provide a

AI Can Generate Code Faster Than Software Engineers Can Validate It

Leadership - Software Development & Management, Technology Leadership

AI-generated code must be treated as untrusted code and subjected to the same rigorous review, testing, and validation as code from any other source. Software development is not primarily the act of typing syntax, just as engineering is not primarily the act of drawing blueprints. Generating code is only a tiny part of software engineering.

The AI Risk We Keep Underestimating: It Does Not Have to Hate Us to Harm Us

Leadership - Software Development & Management, Technology Leadership

Written by Richard Armstrong – AI Software Engineer, Consultant, and Architect – High Vision Systems For decades, science fiction taught us to fear artificial intelligence for the wrong reason. We imagined a machine becoming conscious, deciding that it hated humanity, and turning against its creators. HAL 9000 killed because it was trapped between incompatible directives. WarGames imagined
