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.

Building Human-Facing Agentic Systems: The Psychology and Sociology of Super Intelligence

The article "Cognitive Enterprise: Brain-Inspired AI for Business Advantage," by Dr. Jerry A. Smith, argues for a paradigm shift in enterprise AI from traditional, siloed systems to brain-inspired AI agents powered by knowledge graphs. It explains that, unlike current AI that processes data like "sophisticated spreadsheets," this new approach enables machines to reason with interconnected information through networks of meaning, mimicking how the human brain functions. The author highlights the competitive imperative for businesses to adopt this "neurosymbolic" AI, which combines neural networks' pattern recognition with symbolic reasoning, offering advantages in speed, insight quality, scalability, and transparency. The text further outlines a four-stage roadmap for organizations to transition to a "cognitive enterprise," emphasizing the construction of knowledge graphs, modular agent development, intelligent scaling, and ultimately, enterprise-wide transformation for sustained competitive advantage.
