The Wall Street Journal's Ben Cohen surfaced last weekend what some AI savants consider the most important chart in the world.
The reason: It shows the early explosion of recursive self-improvement inside Anthropic.
Why it matters: Picture this chart for one of your divisions — and then, eventually, your full company. Work moves from minimal AI ... to AI assisting ... to AI collaborating ... to AI leading.
Assume this progression applies to all of your knowledge work: finance, legal, marketing, sales ops, engineering, customer service.
It happens division by division — not all at once. Digital, repeatable, measurable work transitions to AI first. Your company will look like a set of these charts, each at a different stage.
The big picture: This provides a framework for thinking longer term about the structure, org charts and your shift to a hybrid human-AI workforce.
🤔 RSI refresher: Recursive self-improvement is AI helping build better AI, so each new generation arrives faster and stronger than the last.
