The Noise Floor: AI Triage Is a Decision Someone Must Own, Not a Feature You Buy
The TL;DR is that "AI reduces the noise" is not a capability you procure, it is a threshold you set, and every threshold position is an operating point that trades missed signals against wasted analysts. There is no dial position labelled "just the signal". Whoever turns that dial is allocating analyst attention and accepting the risk of the report nobody read, and from 10 December 2026 that becomes a decision Australian entities may have to explain (*Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024* (Cth)). Triage is a policy decision wearing an engineering costume, and someone accountable has to own it.
