Jonathan Brill spoke with Deb Reuben on the TomorrowZone Catalyst Podcast about unleashing super-intelligent organizations with the AI octopus model. Jonathan invites leaders to look beyond fears of being replaced and instead reimagine new ways humans and AI can collaborate. He explains that the real competitive risk isn’t AI itself, but how others will harness it to reshape the playing field. Through vivid metaphors and real-world examples, Jonathan reveals how organizations can evolve from rigid, top-down structures to fluid, distributed models that mirror the intelligence of an octopus.
