About AI-fication

AI-fication is a personal thinking space.

I am using this blog primarily to write things down - to slow my thinking, structure ideas, and make sense of how artificial intelligence is reshaping work, organisations, systems, and society.

The idea of AI-fication runs through much of my work. I wrote The AI-fication of Jobs, followed by The AI-fication of Talents, to explore how AI changes not just tasks or tools, but the deeper structures of work, skills, incentives, and value creation. This blog is a continuation of that thinking, but in a looser, more exploratory form.

Before CFTE, I wrote Disruptive Finance, a blog that followed my thinking on finance and fintech during a period of rapid transformation. When CFTE took shape, most of my writing shifted towards programmes, frameworks, and institutional work. Over time, I missed having a place to think in public, without the pressure to be fully formed or immediately actionable.

This blog is a return to that practice.

AI-fication is a thinking ground rooted in the belief that we are moving into a different world because of AI. It is a world full of potential, but also one that carries real risks and unintended consequences. Just as it would have been impossible to fully understand the impact of the automobile by being an expert in horses, there is no one today who can claim to know exactly where this transformation will lead.

That is precisely why careful, deep, and fast thinking matters.

Here, I explore how AI reshapes decision-making, productivity, leadership, learning, and systems - sometimes visibly, often quietly. Many ideas will be incomplete. Some will change over time. That is intentional. This is a place to progress my thinking and, hopefully, contribute to the progress of others’ thinking as well.

I also use AI to support my thinking and to help polish my writing. The ideas, perspectives, and conclusions expressed here – however good or bad – are mine, and not ChatGPT's or Claude's!

I welcome different views, challenges, and thoughtful disagreement
