speculative negative Relying on AI at work reduces self-efficacy, ownership, and ... inferred organizational outcomes (productivity offsets, not directly measured)
Teams often produce evaluation outputs (tests, metrics, user feedback) but lack mechanisms, processes, or technical levers to convert those outputs into actionable engineering or product changes—a novel “results-actionability gap.”

speculative negative FEATURE COMMENT: Governance as a "Blocker": How the Pentagon... contractor incentives to invest in safety and compliance (theoretical inference)
A mismatch between expanded waiver authority (Barrier Removal Board) and declining acquisition oversight capacity creates procurement-integrity and systemic risks: faster acquisition concurrent with weakened institutional checks increases likelihood of improper procurement decisions and unchecked deployment of unsafe or unvetted AI models.
Synthesis of primary-source policy analysis, institutional staffing trend evidence, and qualitative risk/scenario assessment using principal–agent and moral-hazard frameworks. This is a conceptual risk projection rather than an empirically derived probability estimate.
