Listen "The Human-AI Paradox: Strategic Tensions in Technology Transformation, by Jonathan H. Westover PhD"
Episode Synopsis
Abstract: This article examines the emerging pattern of organizations simultaneously announcing major workforce reductions while significantly investing in artificial intelligence technologies. Drawing on organizational behavior research, technological adoption frameworks, and strategic management literature, it explores the tensions between AI-driven transformation and human capital preservation. The analysis reveals that while AI adoption often triggers restructuring, organizations that approach AI as a complement to human capabilities rather than a substitute tend to achieve more sustainable outcomes. The article presents evidence-based approaches for integrating AI strategically while preserving institutional knowledge and organizational culture. It concludes with recommendations for creating AI adoption frameworks that enhance rather than diminish human potential, supporting long-term organizational resilience and competitive advantage.
