Amazon mandated 80% AI coding adoption, tracked as a corporate OKR.

Three months later: their AI tool deleted a production environment (13h outage), then AI-assisted code caused 6.3 million lost orders in a single day.

New rule: seniors must sign off all AI-generated code.

The data: AI code has 1.7x more bugs, 10x more security issues. Companies accumulate tech debt at 3-4x previous levels.

This is not an AI problem. It is a management problem.
