AI raises the floor. Humans raise the ceiling. Technology can accelerate routine analysis and connect information in powerful ways. But judgment — understanding context, interpreting signals, navigating ambiguity and building trusted relationships — remains fundamentally human. AI Verified source (2026)

Verification History

AI Verified Verified quote attributed to Paul Griggs, US Senior Partner and CEO of PwC. The cpapracticeadvisor.com URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the verbatim text across multiple outlets (Business Chief, AI Magazine, Accounting Today): "AI raises the floor. Humans raise the ceiling. Technology can accelerate routine analysis and connect information in powerful ways. But judgment — understanding context, interpreting signals, navigating ambiguity and building trusted relationships — remains fundamentally human." The statement originated in a Griggs LinkedIn post on the future of professional services (March 2026). Year (2026) is current. Author attribution confirmed (PwC US CEO). The source URL is a CPA Practice Advisor report carrying the quote (the original is a LinkedIn post, not directly fetchable). Vote alignment: the statement is "Regulated industries should prohibit AI from making autonomous decisions where fiduciary duty applies"; Griggs explicitly holds that judgment remains fundamentally human while AI handles routine analysis, keeping human judgment central — consistent with a "for" vote. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 12d ago
