Great points on context, permission and handoff, all important and often overlooked. I related to 'finding yourself a job when no one assigned it to you’. It truly is such a human example of an agent behavior. :)

Nice collaboration Judy and Joel!

Thanks Anna! With all the recent focus on workflows, it helps to remember that we’re constantly redefining our work. AI’s job might also change over time.

Most AI issues are really ownership issues in disguise.

Really enjoyed this piece!!

it strikes exactly the balance we all need right now: curiosity about AI and responsibility for how it’s embedded in real organizations. I love how you moved beyond the hype and asked the question that actually matters: not just if AI is in the org chart, but what role it’s really playing.

Your framing makes it clear that AI isn’t just a tool to check boxes.. it’s a player in decision logic, workflows, and future leadership ecosystems. Thanks for unpacking that with clarity and nuance. Excellent work!! 👍

Thanks Mila! This is honestly such great feedback as I do try to help people cut through the hype and connect to mental models that help us see AI differently.

You do a super important work… wish you all the best, Judy! 🙏

Once AI has a job, somebody needs to be clear on where that job ends.

A lot of bad AI behaviour is really just the system filling in gaps nobody defined properly.

That’s not the model going off the rails. It’s the setup being loose from the start.

Yup, we can’t blame the model there

It's scary to think just how much hidden damage uncertain AI can do when you fail to define its job properly.
