Co-Intelligence: Practical Principles for Augmented Human-AI Collaboration
Formulated the foundational operational principles for knowledge worker augmentation—defining the 'Jagged Frontier' where AI excels unpredictably, human-in-the-loop oversight rules, and structured prompt roles that elevate analytical rigor across business strategy.
Requires practitioners to continually probe model capabilities as boundaries shift rapidly across new model checkpoint releases.
Centaur and Cyborg Consulting Workflows: Empirical Productivity Study
Conducted controlled randomized trials with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) consultants evaluating 18 realistic business tasks. Documented that AI-augmented professionals completed tasks 25.1% faster with over 40% higher rated quality, differentiating between 'Centaur' (divided task) and 'Cyborg' (interwoven iteration) workflows.
Identified a performance drop when consultants over-relied on LLMs for tasks beyond the model's actual reasoning horizon without critical inspection.
