The Quiet Retreat

Enterprise AI is stalling on people: rationed access, quiet resistance and the stigma on anything a machine has touched.

Judge AI on what it does now. Frozen at today’s level, it would still be the biggest shift in knowledge work in a generation.

Large organisations stall on AI because they insist on order first, when order is what using AI produces.

AI is weakening our ability to read, write and think at length, just as those skills become the key to using it.

AI 2027 tells the next three years of AI as a story with two endings. It is right to take the labs seriously, and too quick to skip the rest of us.
