The AI tool is collecting dust. The invoice still hits every month. Sound familiar?
You're not bad at tech. You were sold something that skipped the most important question: who's actually responsible when AI gets it wrong?
Oxford's legal researchers just flagged something most vendors never mention. When AI is embedded in your business — handling customer service, processing applications, filtering candidates — your company becomes what regulators call a "gatekeeper." That means accountability sits with you, not the software company.
This changes how you should evaluate every AI tool. Before asking "what can it do," ask "what happens when it fails, and who owns that?"
Most business owners never get this question answered before they buy. That's why so many implementations collapse quietly — not from bad technology, but from unclear ownership inside the team.
Here's the one thing you can do this week: before trialing any AI tool, write one sentence that names who on your team owns the output. Not the AI. A person. If you can't name them, you're not ready to buy — and that's actually useful information.
This isn't about legal risk. It's about building something your team will actually use.
What's the biggest reason an AI tool you've tried didn't stick with your team?
