Centrifuge

When the mechanical parts of knowledge work become available to everyone, judgment is the only thing left. Most organizations have been running on the appearance of it. AI works like a centrifuge. It spins an organization fast enough that what is genuinely its own separates from what it was only performing. Nothing gets added. What was already there simply becomes impossible to hide. Mitch Kelly built a fully AI-enabled advisory firm and kept finding that the problems he hit had already been solved once, by nature. Centrifuge follows those patterns from how people react to AI, through why transformation keeps failing as an organizational design problem, to what a redesigned organization actually looks like. It ends with the question of sovereignty, and whether you can still think without permission when the tools that liberated you can also own you.
