AI and Organisational Fragility

Recent research in The Lancet reveals a systemic warning: after using AI assistance, experienced doctors’ independent diagnostic skills dropped by 20%.

This is the Automation Paradox — where “efficiency” atrophies the very intuition we rely on.

If we outsource the “hard-won lessons” to algorithms, we will likely lose the expertise for independent thought.

Are we augmenting our people or hollowing them out, leading to organisational fragility?

We must protect human judgment by designing for productive friction, ensuring AI remains a tool, not a crutch.
