[Strategy consulting managers] How do you control/authorize your consultants to use AI within their day to day work?

Seeing rampant usage with no critical thinking employed. Sometimes easy to catch (e.g., ridiculously worded sentences), sometimes not so easy to catch (e.g., data points in Excel models).

Imo, problem sits within a broader issue where critical thinking skills are never developed in first place by AI natives (e.g., never known university or world of work without ChatGPT)

You can control the tools they can use within your company’s firewall. You cannot control how someone uses a tool if the tool is approved by your company.

AI comes with a disclaimer and it wants you double check what it says. Which is no different from consultants copy pasting stuff from different sources or googling it but not doing any due diligence. It is the future, so I’m not sure if you can do much at this point

You have to empower them to use tools to enhance productivity but you as the manager have to ensure the QA checks. Not much changes from our roles in doing this , just how we do it. For example, there’s still style guides that need to be used but getting granular to the point of sentence word count may be needed. For data , you have to ensure consultants are putting checks and balances in place for you to feel comfortable that their work is accurate and matches control totals. Now for the critical thinking piece , I personally think you have to call out when people are being intellectually lazy but at the same time, juniors are going to be reliant on the tools when they lack the experience.

Really confused as to whether to incorporate my NY- based makeup startup as an LLC or an S-corp? Not based in NYC if that matters and no revenue yet. Should I be looking into Delaware at all (specifically a Delaware C-Corp) if I do plan on raising capital at some point down the line? Also - for any FDA lawyers out there, what is the problem with developing makeup (specifically foundations) with SPF? I've heard it's "heavily regulated." What do I need to be aware of? Thanks in advance !!
