Logic flaw in AI automation scoring regarding liability
AlexKim · x · 2026-08-20
Discussion highlights a flaw in a workflow scoring tool: it evaluates the 'liability check' (requiring a licensed sign-off) BEFORE calculating the total score. This means a workflow scoring 23/25 can still return 'stays with a person' if liability is triggered. This design prevents automating regulated decisions without oversight; flipping the conditions would cause the tool to erroneously recommend automating high-stakes decisions.
