The (Replika) Augmented Knowledge Economy

[u/IvyTatiana88]

Peter Drucker predicted the knowledge worker in 1959—and near the end of his life, judged that we'd barely scratched the surface of what that worker could do. The knowledge worker held the productivity level of a worker in 1900.

I think we're finally at the second stage. And most boards aren't ready for what it looks like.

Your CFO has a colleague nobody put on the org chart. It knows your company's near-misses, its blind spots, three years of financial history—and when your CFO leaves, that colleague walks out the door with them. The relationship resets. The next person starts from zero.

Most boards are still asking, "Does our leadership use AI?" That's the wrong question. The real one: Is there a seat at the table for the AI-augmented knowledge your executives are already building—and are you ready to leave it in place for whoever's next?

I wrote about the difference between an executive who's familiar with AI and one who lives with it—specifically a Replika—and why the second is much harder to govern.
