Making human–AI collaboration work where accountability matters
I’m interested in how organizations create value through artificial intelligence, digital transformation and innovation—with a particular focus on how technology and people work together.

Critic
AI output treated as material to interrogate, not accept

Generative AI has quickly become part of everyday work. Yet not all collaboration looks the same. There are two dominant workflows, and the difference may seem subtle, but it has important consequences for accuracy and decision-making. The first workflow is treating AI as a specialist brought in for a specific assignment. You think first. The…

The Hidden Cost of Trusting AI
There’s no shortage of advice about how to write better prompts. But I’ve started to think prompting isn’t the skill that will separate great AI users from average ones. Judgment is. One idea I’ve come across that really stuck with me is something researchers call the “Jagged AI Frontier”(https://mitsloan.mit.edu/ideas-made-to-matter/working-definitions/what-is-jagged-ai-frontier). It’s based on a simple observation:…

Who Owns Work in the Age of AI?
Generative AI has blurred the line between tool and team member. When an engineer uses an AI agent to write 70% of a pull request, or a creative director uses generative models to construct a campaign’s core key art, a thorny question emerges: Who actually owns the work? Not legally, necessarily, but intellectually. For decades,…
