Abstract

In this short vignette on ethics in consulting, John Child, a new Associate at a prestigious firm who is eager to impress, decides to use an AI tool to expedite his analysis and craft his presentation due to a short project timeframe. Feeling uneasy about his decision not to inform his team after a successful presentation, he must weigh the tradeoffs of providing late disclosure, whether partial or full, or continuing to withhold his decision from his team and client, and the ethical and career implications those decisions might carry.
