The Architecture of AI Transformation: Four Strategic Patterns and an Emerging Frontier

Outline

This paper argues that despite corporate investments in AI, profit growth remains minimal because AI strategies remain stuck in incremental optimization, failing to achieve structural transformation. It proposes a 2x2 framework (degree of transformation, human role) to reframe AI strategies and analyzes four patterns: individual augmentation, process automation, human substitution, and collaborative intelligence. It argues that the former three reinforce existing work methods and fail to create sustained value, while collaborative intelligence can be realized through three mechanisms: complementarity, coevolution, and boundary setting. Through case studies, it emphasizes that advancing toward collaborative intelligence requires a restructuring of roles, governance, and data architecture, and a shift from an optimized division of labor between humans and machines to a convergence architecture.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways: Redefining AI strategy from a simple technology introduction to a problem of organizational design, this paper emphasizes the need to redesign organizational structures, governance, and data architecture to realize collaborative intelligence between humans and machines. It proposes complementarity, coevolution, and boundary-setting mechanisms for collaborative intelligence.
Limitations: This claim is based on theoretical discussion and has limited empirical research results. Further research is needed to determine the generalizability of the proposed 2x2 framework. Further discussion is needed on specific implementation methods and successful cases for implementing collaborative intelligence. There is a lack of in-depth analysis of the reasons for the absence of a coevolutionary mechanism.
