Starter questions
Written to probe curiosity and learning, not accusation.
- 01What might we be missing if we treat “Audio prompt injection” only as a technical problem?
- 02If a colleague raised this concern tomorrow, how would we receive it as inquiry rather than accusation?
- 03What capacity would we need — in people, in the institution, in the tools — to meet this well?
- 04What would Accountability require of us here, before we proceed?
