Alex Tamkin: Institutions must redesign themselves to use AI while preserving human judgment
AlexTamkin · x · 2026-10-28
Alex Tamkin argues that AI's influence isn't just individual — institutions matter too. Organizations need to understand how people's decisions are being shaped by AI and actively choose how to redesign themselves to use AI effectively while preserving independent human judgment.
Asked what can be done, he suggests we need a much better understanding of how agents shape decisions in and out of work, and that both model behavior and AI product design can be built to better support human agency.
