Author argues AI fleets need organizational proprioception

Once individual agents become reliable, the next hurdle is coordinating large fleets. The author compares this to human proprioception, the body’s internal sense of limb position, and argues that organizations need a similar continuous awareness of each agent’s state to keep them aligned with business goals. Without this, oversight turns into costly manual audits that are fragile and can fail in ways similar to neurological cases.

He concludes that the next practical AI task is building coherence—the connective tissue that links what each agent does to the enterprise’s intended outcomes. This coherence will become a scarce resource as AI becomes embedded in every workflow, and creating it is the “boring but useful” challenge for the industry.
