Nils Stotz (Bocconi lecturer) takes the book's emergent-intelligence idea to AI — 'We are adding intelligence to organizations faster than we are redesigning how that intelligence coordinates'

A product lead and Bocconi lecturer picks up the book's framing of organizations as emergent intelligence — the ant-and-maze experiment where the colony develops a short-term memory no individual ant has — and turns it on enterprise AI. His argument: companies are adding capability at the individual level, in private chats and fragmented workflows, which produces more local intelligence without a more intelligent organization.

“I recently read Eric Ries's new book, Incorruptible. One idea I found particularly interesting was his description of organizations as a form of “emergent intelligence”: the whole can develop capabilities that do not exist in any individual member.” — Nils Stotz on LinkedIn
