Duty of Care Expansion

LinkedIn Post 7: Duty of Care Expansion

Hook: "Your duty of care just expanded. You didn't notice."

When you deploy an AI system managing building access and space allocation, you inherit all the algorithmic insights that system has. That's legally significant.

Example: Your AI identifies that certain workers have higher incident rates in certain areas. That's data. That's knowledge. That's attributable to you.

If you then fail to act on that algorithmic insight—if you continue allocating these workers to high-risk areas without human intervention—you're not just passively managing workspace. You're actively ignoring a known foreseeable risk.

That's a breach of duty.

Preliminary analysis suggests that algorithmic systems expand the concept of "foreseeable risk" far beyond what human managers would recognize. And the law increasingly holds you liable for risks you should have foreseen.

Insight: More data = more foreseen risks = more liability if you don't act.

CTA: What does your space-allocation AI know that you haven't acted on?
