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.

"Making Invisible Organizational Dynamics Visible," by Dr. Jerry A. Smith, argues that traditional analysis of meeting notes fails because it captures what was said but misses the invisible psychological and sociological forces that truly shape organizational decisions and lead to predictable failures. It identifies six key invisible forces, such as psychological safety, power dynamics, and emotional contagion, which determine outcomes but are typically unexamined. The text proposes a new approach that combines specialized depth psychology frameworks with AI to analyze meeting transcripts, making these unseen dynamics visible at scale to diagnose root causes like compliance masquerading as consensus or fundamental worldview conflicts. Ultimately, this technology shifts organizational learning from reactive to proactive, allowing leaders to intervene based on accurate, systemic understanding of team health and political terrain, although the author notes that visibility alone does not equal solving.
