Dr. Jerry Smith's January 2025 Medium article explores the psychological, sociological, and ethical implications of "human-facing agentic systems," AI powered by large language models (LLMs). These systems, leveraging multi-headed attention mechanisms, aim to collaborate with humans, not merely serve as tools. The article emphasizes the potential for both empowerment and manipulation inherent in these systems, highlighting the crucial role of self-interest, emotion, and identity in human-AI interaction. Smith concludes with a call for responsible development guided by transparency, inclusivity, and justice, warning against the potential for these systems to become instruments of control.

"The Math That Kills Growth" describes a framework called VALORE, a multi-agent AI system designed to solve the Coordination Paradox that stifles growth in scaling manufacturing companies. The author, Dr. Jerry A. Smith, explains that as manufacturing operations grow, coordination complexity increases exponentially, leading to a collapse in decision velocity and massive financial losses, often totaling $15M to $50M annually. The VALORE system replaces manual, email-dependent coordination with specialized AI agents—such as the Scout, Analyst, and Strategist—that communicate and negotiate in real-time to manage disruptions like supply chain shocks or quality failures within seconds. The implementation of this agentic AI is proposed through a three-phase roadmap—Visibility, Assistance, and eventual Autonomy—to build trust in the regulated manufacturing environment gradually. Ultimately, the system aims to transform coordination from a growth-capping liability into a competitive advantage by achieving significant reductions in operational friction and cost.
