OpenAI staff essay sketches how AI could enter the org chart
Original title: The future of the firm
The authors describe AI labor beneath, beside, or between employees and say the views are their own.
Hemanth Asirvatham and Elliott Mokski published an OpenAI-hosted essay on how AI might reorganize firms. They outline three scenarios: AI labor reporting beneath each person, AI as a colleague beside people, and AI coordinating between managers and workers. The essay then raises questions about red tape, worker agency, firm size, and pay disparity. The authors say it reflects their views, not those of OpenAI.
Unconfirmed: The scenarios are the authors' speculation, not an OpenAI plan or measured outcome.
- This is the second essay in their series on the next economy.
- They argue hybrid firms matter because AI adoption is not instantaneous.
- One scenario keeps human seats and adds an AI labor basement.
- They say aspects of all three org-chart patterns are already happening.
