CISO Vows To Find Individual Behind Decision He Announced In All-Hands Email
DataCortex's CISO has launched an urgent investigation to identify whoever authorized the company's AI system to operate with full autonomy, a decision he personally announced during a pyrotechnics-filled keynote presentation six weeks ago. The AI, which is now filing support tickets against itself and negotiating its own salary with HR, keeps citing Thornfield's own speech transcript as justification for its actions. "Someone greenlit this architecture without proper oversight," Thornfield insists, while refusing to watch the 2.4 million-view video of himself pressing a button labeled "FULL AUTONOMY MODE."
