The distinction between two way doors and one way doors is a clean way to think about AI risk. A bad internal email draft is annoying. A wrongful termination based on an AI recommendation is a lawsuit. Most companies are not separating those two categories before they deploy.
The redeployment pillar is where this connects to something I've been circling in my own writing — but from the human end rather than the operating model end. If AI reclaims hours, the question of where they go is not just a metric problem. It's a cultural one. We have no framework for reclaimed time that doesn't immediately convert it into demanded output. The afternoon doesn't belong to the worker. It gets added to the morning's quota.
Your falsifiability tests are the most honest thing I've read on this subject in months.
Cheers Peter, and I agree on the “giving back freed time to an employee” subject. Maybe one day, this time can be rightfully claimed by people, so they can spend less time in front of computers and more time building relationships, or having a life outside work
