While AI standards and best practices provide valuable guidance to practitioners, they often are geared toward integrating AI into the structure and practices of large, well-resourced organizations. Yet small and medium enterprises (SMEs) stand to benefit greatly from AI adoption as well. This blog examines the implications of AI standards for smaller organizations and proposes several achievable initial steps that practitioners can take to further responsible AI deployment under resource constraints.

CIOs racing to experiment with AI models, test AI agents, and use vibe coding to develop applications may find themselves dealing with a new form of technical debt: AI debt . The pressure to accelerate proofs of concept (POCs) into production will likely drive teams to cut corners and leave known improvements as “to-dos” for future releases. But speed isn’t the only factor that will create AI debt. Even with strong AI governance in place, advances in frontier models and new AI agents from SaaS platforms means that what gets POC’ed and moved to production today will require unanticipated changes in future releases. Learnings from technical debt Creating a framework for understanding, avoiding, and resolving AI debt should build on practices for reducing technical debt . First, not all technical debt carries the same risks or priorities for resolution. Understanding the source of technical debt can help rank the likelihood of the issue impacting business operations and its severity. Seven types of technical debt include performance-limiting data management practices, open-source dependencies, architecture limitations, and cultural inhibitors . Data debt includes data quality issues , manual steps in data pipelines , and data management that lacks observability . Second, prioritizing the work to address technical debt requires CIOs to communicate in terms that both technologists and business leaders comprehend. When there isn’t a shared understanding, business pressure to upgrade or deliver new capabilities may limit the work needed to address security vulnerabilities, fix defects, or improve operational resiliency. AI debt can also be categorized by its sources. It also requires CIOs to communicate the risks of deploying AI capabilities before they are fully tested. But as we are early in the AI era, CIOs should put significant focus on ways to avoid the different types of AI debt as part of defining governance and guardrails. Here are seven AI debt sources to consider, along with ways to avoid them. AI experiments without targeted outcomes The pressure to get more employees learning AI and testing AI agents is needed but comes at a cost. In addition to people’s time and rising token costs, prioritizing work without defining objectives can increase AI debt without leaving a clear understanding of whether the AI capability is delivering value. “Outcome debt builds when organizations deploy AI without defining the specific, measurable business results they expect it to deliver,” says Rob Scudiere , CTO at Verint. “When teams chase experimentation or hype instead of outcomes, they accumulate systems that are technically impressive but operationally irrelevant. Anchoring every AI initiative to clear, verifiable results prevents this debt and ensures investments translate into stronger, faster, scalable impact.” Recommendation: Avoid chaotic AI experiments by creating an ideation process before committing resources and by tracking active AI initiatives. Require teams to define their targeted outcomes and establish a risk registry covering any unknowns, concerns, and future fixes related to their AI implementations. Feeding poor data quality to AI models Poor data quality, a data risk CIOs should be paranoid about , gets amplified when used with AI models and agents. One key practice is to define a data trust score and prevent teams from allowing AI models and agents to use datasets that fall below targeted thresholds. “Data quality debt is one of the most dangerous forms of AI debt because errors in training data and inputs cascade through models, pipelines, and downstream decisions,” says Abhi Sharma , co-founder and CEO at Relyance AI. “The best way to prevent it is to establish continuous data lineage and governance so teams can trace inputs, monitor transformations, and correct issues before they propagate into model behavior.” A second practice is to extend data catalogs and data fabrics by establishing reusable data products. Data products become shareable multi-purpose assets with their own release cycle, treating AI agents and other users as customers. “Organizations often don’t recognize data quality issues until an AI agent acts on flawed data, amplifying errors at speed and without human judgment,” says Mayank Mahajan , associate director of engineering at Xebia. “Unlike humans, agents cannot question inconsistencies or fill gaps, so they execute on whatever data is available. Package data as governed, well-documented products and implement observability early so issues like schema drift or stale data are caught before they scale.” Recommendation : Communicate a set of data governance non-negotiables that establish clear minimal criteria for using data in AI, including compliance requirements around data privacy. Strong data governance practices help reduce the risk of data-related AI debt. AI model drifts One key concern when deploying machine learning models is recognizing when real-time inference data drifts from the model’s training data. Model drift is also an issue when using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) or providing other contextual data to large language models. “AI model debt builds when models drift or degrade without teams knowing why, leading to compounding performance and reliability issues,” says Amitkumar Rathi , chief product officer at Virtana. “Observability across models, data pipelines, and infrastructure helps identify whether issues stem from data drift, pipeline failures, or resource constraints like GPU contention.” Recommendation : The key to avoiding AI model debt is through modelops practices , including cataloging models, implementing observability, baselining training data statistics, and monitoring for outcome drift. Rathi recommends, “By continuously linking model outcomes to operating conditions, teams can act early by retraining, fixing data inputs, or rebalancing resources before issues accumulate into long-term model debt.” Overly entitled AI agents Should AI agents have the same data access rights as their users? One form of AI debt is when access permissions and the underlying entitlements for AI agents require revisiting and auditing. Worse is when over-permissioned AI agents expose confidential data or make erroneous decisions when accessing sensitive data. “Enterprises are deploying AI agents that query databases, trigger workflows, and make decisions at machine speed, yet they’re granting these agents broad, static permissions modeled on how humans access data,” says Ganesh Kirti , CEO at TrustLogix. “Every agent running with over-provisioned access or without context-aware controls is quietly accumulating security, compliance, and data integrity risk that compounds over time.” Part of the challenge is that more organizations are deploying AI agents in mission-critical business processes. Deploying wide-scoped AI agents with broad data access rights can lead to operational risks and AI debt to address them. “You insert AI into the process with a specific job defined, not any job, and you make sure that the inputs match the job specification,” says Matt Calkins , CEO of Appian. “You must give the AI agent a narrow range of possible outputs.” Recommendation: To reduce the risk of AI debt from overly empowered AI agents, review the outcomes, decisions, and recommendations AI agents will be responsible for and apply a bottom-up review of the required data entitlements. “To avoid this debt, organizations need to treat AI agents as governed non-human identities with their own entitlement lifecycle, continuous, policy-driven authorization that adapts in real time, and not one-time role grants that nobody revisits,” Kirti recommends. Teaching AI agents broken business processes Robotic process automation (RPA) delivered significant ROI when applied to well-defined business processes. With AI agents, some have suggested that role- and task-based agents can perform the required work by providing sufficient context. But this assumes that existing business processes and the data they generate are accurate and reliable. “Too many organizations are rushing to layer agentic automation on top of their existing processes and infrastructure,” says Don Schuerman , CTO and VP of marketing and technology strategy at Pegasystems. “Anyone can now quickly create an app with gen AI, but they struggle when they try to deploy it to do the real work inside real enterprises with all their complexities and dependencies.” Recommendation: Avoid the rush to deploy AI agents before conducting upfront audits of existing processes and discussing future needs with business owners. Before generating a single line of code or deploying an AI agent, Schuerman recommends reimagining how work could be optimally done and how best to engage with customers across channels. AI agent sprawl AI agents are available across many platforms, and DevOps teams can use spec-driven development practices to build them. One organization’s chief digital officer recently told me they have already deployed over 1,000 AI agents. The question is whether CIOs will repeat past mistakes when deploying tools that make it easy for business users to create new assets that are challenging to manage. Consider the debt created by sprawling behaviors: Spreadsheets were great for analytics until business users created too many of them, and there were few tools to manage the underlying data practices and change lifecycles. Data visualizations were an upgrade, but top CIOs realized that governance practices were needed to manage citizen data science programs . “Many companies already have more agents than employees, but lack lifecycle management, with no visibility into what agents exist, what data they access, or when they should be retired,” says Saket Srivastava , CIO at Asana. “Each unmanaged agent compounds risk, including security exposure, duplicated logic, and decisions no one can audit. CIOs should manage agents with the same rigor as employees, with clear ownership, role-based access to the right systems and data, and defined onboarding and retirement, before sprawl becomes a costly, hard-to-contain problem.” Recommendation : CIOs of organizations with SaaS sprawl , especially those with a history of shadow IT , should define processes and controls for selecting, deploying, and managing AI agents . Security lagging AI-generated code The speed at which AI agents are developed, integrated with MCP servers , and deployed can compound security vulnerabilities. There are also questions about AI-generated code, with one study reporting that AI pull requests produce 1.4 times as many critical issues as human-generated ones. Nikhil Mungel , head of AI R&D at Cribl, says, “AI-generated code debt can occur when teams use off-the-shelf tools that generate code that isn’t consistent with the company’s standards.” Vrajesh Bhavsar , CEO and co-founder at Operant AI, adds, “As organizations scale AI agents and multi-step AI workflows, they inherit a rapidly expanding attack surface where adversaries are actively exploiting new threat patterns, including zero-click attacks that require no user interaction to trigger data exfiltration, poisoning, or leakage mid-workflow.” Recommendation : Organizations that use AI code generators, vibe coding, or spec-driven development methodologies should consider adding AI code review tools such as CodeRabbit, DeepCode, Qodo, SonarQube, or open source options to their security programs. Mungel recommends embedding engineering best practices into skill frameworks, such as agents.md or skill.md, to ensure outputs comply with internal guidelines. In addition, Bhavsar recommends deploying adaptive, agentic-aware security controls that can detect and stop threats targeting AI agents in real-time. AI is only reshaping businesses and not transforming them yet. The question for CIOs is whether the pressure to move AI experiments into production and deliver business value will create new forms of AI debt for them to manage in the years to come.

TL;DR: My new prior is that top-of-the-line LLMs working on easy tasks generate code that is maybe 10 % more complicated than necessary. I also think we accept this complexity too easily, because it comes from code that is right here , right now , solving an immediate problem. This may have consequences for maintenance in the long term. (The text of the LessWrong version of this article is lightly adjusted to fit a more general audience than my usual readership of software product developers.) The background to this discovery was that I needed to do some software plumbing in a work project. It was a simple change that mostly mirrored existing functionality. This is a perfect fit for LLMs, in my experience, so I used a frontier model to generate the code for it. The change ended up being a total of just over 200 lines, mostly additions. The part of the generated code we’ll talk about is a 24-line function that converts an arbitrary (user-supplied) string to a safe HTTP header value. [1] toHeaderValue :: Text -> Text toHeaderValue raw = let attrChars = "!#$&+-.^_`|~" padHex t = if Text.length t < 2 then "0" <> t else t percentEncode c = if (isAscii c && isAlphaNum c) || elem c attrChars then Text.singleton c else Text.concat [ "%" <> padHex (Text.toUpper (Text.pack (showHex b ""))) | b <- ByteString.unpack (encodeUtf8 (Text.singleton c)) ] rfc5987Encode = Text.concatMap percentEncode isPrintable c = c >= ' ' && c /= '\DEL' replacePathSeparator c = if c == '/' || c == '\\' then '_' else c cleaned = Text.map replacePathSeparator (Text.filter isPrintable raw) in rfc5987Encode cleaned When looking at this function in isolation, it obviously seems a bit too complicated, but remember that this was just 24 lines in a 200-line change. I confirmed that the underlying idea was correct, and that the generated tests covered all the edge cases I would want to see covered. It’s not pretty code, but it is proven correct by tests. More importantly, it is highly local. If anything about this code needs replacing, it can be replaced without touching anything else. Apprentice-level programmers worry equally about code quality everywhere; I’ve long wanted to write an article called “ Don’t worry, it’s local ” where I tell these programmers that bad code quality is fine, as long as it’s self-contained in a small location. I accepted this code. I needed the implementation to work, and this code obviously worked. It was right there , right now . It would have been silly to not accept it! Accepting it was the easy choice, and certainly not a bad decision. However, in a pleasant twist of fate, the automated code verification pipeline for this project has a mandatory statement test coverage check, and that check failed for this code. The check failed due to the padHex function, which takes a hexadecimal value in the range 0x0 – 0xff and zero-pads it if it is less than 0x10 . The data passed into padHex has already gone through the isPrintable filter, which removes all bytes lower than 0x20 . Thus no value passed to padHex is ever below 0x10 , and it never ends up padding anything! It is always a no-op. The statement coverage check warns on the padding branch of padHex , because it is exercised by no automated test. It is in fact impossible to exercise it in a test. This was annoying: On the one hand, we shouldn’t assume percentEncode is always called with characters greater than 0x1f , even if that happens to be true at the moment. Such an assumption relies on spooky action at a distance, which – even if it is local to this function – we want to avoid. On the other hand, the coverage report is right too: there is something awkward about this whole construction. So I stepped in and wrote my own implementation. The implementation that ended up shipping was closer to this: toHeaderValue :: Text -> Text toHeaderValue = let retainPrintable = Text.filter (\c -> c >= ' ' && c /= '\DEL') replacePathSeparators = Text.replace "/" "_" . Text.replace "\\" "_" -- URL encoding is also legal RFC5987 encoding. rfc5987Encode = decodeUtf8 . urlEncode True . encodeUtf8 in rfc5987Encode . replacePathSeparators . retainPrintable This is 15 lines of complexity shorter. That’s around 8 % of the change. The LLM did not generate bad code. [2] It just generated code that was at least 8 % more complex than it needed to be. That’s not a disaster today, and when there’s pressure to ship, it is easy to accept it because it is right there , right now , and it solves the problem. I accepted and was about to ship code that was 8 % too complex. It was only by chance I looked into it more deeply and realised the problems with it. This experience leaves me with a bunch of questions I don’t have answers to. What about all the other changes that are also unnecessarily complex, but which I accept anyway? What if this was an easy case, and when we sic an LLM on a more complicated task, it generates code that is more than 8 % too complex, like 20 %, or 40 %, or even 3× more complex than it needs to be? Will we put our foots down when we get code that is so unnecessarily complex? Or will we accept, because it’s not a disaster today, and it is right there , right now ? What happens in a year or two, when we continue shipping code that’s consistently more complex than it needs to be? On the one hand, this worries me. On the other hand, the obvious counter-argument is that code-generating robots improve fast enough that in two years’ time when this becomes a problem, they will know how to deal with it. Maybe. I’m not convinced. ^ Encoding it into a safe value is necessary to avoid confusing mistakes, but also to prevent HTTP header injection attacks. ^ In some sense, its code is better. The RFC 5987 encoding is more lax than URL encoding, so my implementation technically over-encodes. Discuss

- visionOS 27: Siri AI, Eye-Aware Notifications, Curved Windows, and More
Apple's WWDC 2026 keynote may have seemed relatively quiet on the Vision Pro front, but the visionOS 27 beta contains a decent amount of new features and quality of life improvements that are likely to be welcomed by the headset's user base. As you'd expect, visionOS 27 is getting the new Apple Intelligence and Siri AI features that Apple has brought to iOS 27 and macOS 27, but this time they feel more seamlessly integrated into the platform compared to previous efforts. For example, Vision Pro users can ask Siri about anything in their surroundings, and using Visual Intelligence , the assistant will see and interpret it in real time, identifying the content, answering questions about it, and providing contextual information to boot. Interacting with Apple's Siri is achieved via a new 3D orb that users can place anywhere in their virtual space, and just looking at the widget is enough to start a conversation – no "Hey Siri" needed. A new Siri app also makes it easier to revisit previous interactions and continue conversations. Curved windows in visionOS 27 Below is a summary of what else is new in visionOS 27: Panoramas as environments: Panorama photos can now be turned into immersive spatial environments. Rather than viewing panoramas as flat images, users can step into them and experience added depth and realism, making photos and landscapes feel more lifelike. Curved app windows: Apps such as Safari, Freeform, and Apple TV now take advantage of new curved window layouts that wrap content around a user's field of view. The feature is designed to create a more immersive workspace and make better use of Vision Pro's virtual display area. Faster Wi-Fi: Apple says visionOS 27 significantly improves wireless performance, with supported networks delivering speeds up to three times faster than before. Safari 3D environments: A new Web Environments feature means developers can now use a new immersive API to launch users into a full 360-degree environment from within Safari. Apple says these environments can completely surround a user's physical space, making browsing feel more like a native Vision Pro experience. Redesigned Control Center: Control Center has been reorganized with dedicated sections for notifications and media playback, system controls, and immersive environments. The redesign aims to make common controls easier to find and reduce the number of steps required to access frequently used settings. Smaller widgets: A new extra-small widget size allows users to place more widgets throughout their physical space without overwhelming their environment. The additional size option gives users greater flexibility when placing clocks, weather widgets, photos, and other persistent spatial content. Glance-to-expand notifications: Notifications will now automatically expand when a user looks at them, thereby reducing the need for hand gestures or manual interaction. The feature means quicker access to information, while remaining in line with visionOS's eyes-first interaction model. Spatially preview your Mac: Mac owners can now preview and edit 3D models from their laptop directly in visionOS, while Quick Look enhancements allow for annotations to be added directly to 3D models. New Environment: Apple has added a new immersive environment based on Thórsmörk , a nature reserve in Iceland known for its dramatic mountains, valleys, and glaciers. Users can select the environment as a virtual backdrop for work and entertainment, just like the existing environments. Developer enhancements: Apple is introducing new frameworks, APIs, and tools to help developers build more advanced spatial experiences. The updates include RealityKit improvements, Environment Occlusion for more realistic blending of virtual and physical objects, enhanced asset rendering technologies, updates to Reality Composer Pro 3, and improvements for popular game engines. The new Control Center design for visionOS 27 The visionOS 27 developer beta is available now, ahead of the software's full release this fall. Apple says Siri AI will begin rolling out later this year as a beta feature and will initially support English only. However, unlike on iPhone and iPad , where Siri AI will not be available at launch in the European Union, Vision Pro users in the EU will have access to the feature from day one.

- AI inference moving to private clouds, Broadcom says
The majority of enterprises now either run or plan to run AI workloads in private clouds, according to a survey of 1,800 senior IT decision makers conducted by Radius Tech on behalf of Broadcom. Only 41% of enterprises are now using public clouds for inference workloads, down from 56% last year. Meanwhile, the use of private clouds for AI inference has risen slightly, from 55% to 56%. “The key takeaway this year is that we’ve seen an AI tipping point, driving towards private cloud as the preferred platform for running these workloads,” says Prashanth Shenoy , CMO and vice president of marketing for VMware Cloud Foundation division at Broadcom. Overall, 72% of enterprises intend to increase their private cloud spending over the next three years, up from just 51% in 2025’s survey. In addition, 50% of enterprises have already repatriated some workloads, up from 35% in 2025, and another 33% are considering doing so. Public clouds are also growing, the report shows, but at half the rate of private cloud investment. The increase in interest in private clouds is driven by a number of factors, including security and compliance, followed by cost predictability and performance. Agentic AI, in particular, can quickly cause cost overruns as the use of agents can increase large language model use exponentially. According to today’s survey, 62% of IT leaders are either “very” or “extremely” concerned about gen AI and agentic AI infrastructure costs. Enterprises are also concerned about data protection and privacy, followed closely by security and control, both of which are strengths of the private cloud deployment model. Last year, Shenoy says, there was huge growth in public cloud usage for AI pilots and for training. “Now that the majority of large-scale enterprise customers are done doing that, they want the models to be closer to where the data is and where the data is generated,” he says. “And that is in their own on-premise private cloud environment.” Public cloud is still the right answer for many workloads, says Mauricio Sanchez , analyst at Dell’Oro Group. “But the old assumption that every workload eventually moves to public cloud has broken down.” And it’s not just about AI. According to the survey, 97% of respondents say that some of their public cloud spending is wasted — and 52% say that the amount of waste is more than 25%. However, while costs are a concern, they’re not necessarily the biggest factor that determines where enterprises run their workloads. Security and compliance took the lead, with 32% selecting it as the most critical factor, followed by data sovereignty and control at 15%, performance and latency at 14%, and integration with existing systems also at 14%. Cost is tied with speed of deployment and scalability at 12%. Sanchez agrees that enterprises are concerned about data exposure, regulations, performance, and cost. “AI sharpens that trade-off,” he adds. “If a workload is highly variable or needs access to specialized cloud services, public cloud can be attractive. But if a company is running steady AI inference against sensitive data, wants more control over where data and models live, or needs predictable economics, a private cloud can look much better than it did a few years ago.” The difference between AI workloads and other types of applications is that AI pulls in large data sets and requires expensive accelerators. It also needs networking, security controls, and has unique governance requirements. For enterprises located outside the US, there are also sovereignty issues, adds Michela Menting , an analyst at ABI Research. “With the largest public cloud providers being US-based, there is concern in the rest of the world for data protection that meets local regulations,” she says. AI systems might use data, or process data, in a way that’s not compliant with regulations, she says. “Private cloud seems to offer more safeguards,” she says.
