One Function or Many? The Case For and Against Unified AI Integrity Management
Two earlier pieces in this series have laid out the conceptual and institutional case. AI Integrity: a Critical Frontier argued that AI integrity is becoming to intelligent systems what cybersecurity became to software. The Case for AI Integrity Management as a Formal Enterprise Function mapped the landscape of existing disciplines — ethics, compliance, cybersecurity, operational reliability — and argued that the structural logic of convergence is real. This third paper asks whether a unified function is desirable in principle and achievable in practice. Would a unified AI Integrity Management function produce genuine operational benefits, or would it mostly be a reorganisation on paper — the same specialists doing the same work under a new letterhead?
