Managing (AI) Intelligence: When AI Speaks for Your Team - The Hidden Signal You’re Missing

Somewhere on your team, someone may be using AI to surface concerns they don't feel safe raising directly — a phenomenon called "safety by proxy." This episode explains how that behavior is a signal about your culture and introduces four patterns (workaround, equalizer, testing space, mirror) that reveal different safety dynamics.

Greg Gillum summarizes four managerial actions: diagnose the pattern before reacting, use AI as a deliberate mirror, don't outsource judgment to tools, and make speaking up safe in the room. The episode ends with a practical challenge: run a "strongest case against" test and bring the findings to your team.
