Two questions decide if an AI deployment is smart: cost of error vs cost of verification
YvesMulkers · x · 2026-10-02
Data strategist Yves Mulkers offers a two-question test for AI deployments: what does a mistake cost, and what does checking the answer cost? Use cases expensive on both are where the savings vanish.
His takeaway: rank use cases by what you can verify, not by what the model can do. He also invites readers to comment for his AI use-case sorting framework.
