Wiki contributions

• Kropp et al. 2026 (HBR) — lead author of the N=1,261 randomized experiment showing the AI-as-employee framing causes a 9pp accountability drop and more escalations; the wiki’s sharpest anti-anthropomorphizing-AI source.
• Emerson, Kropp et al. 2026 — co-author of AI Will Reshape More Jobs Than It Replaces: the six AI Labor Disruption Segments, the 50–55%-reshaped / 10–15%-eliminated split, and the substitution-vs-augmentation × demand-expandability model.
• Kropp on The So What from BCG (Oct 2026) — guest on token-based competition: BCG/Cursor token data on 107 public companies (top quintile by consumption grew 15%, bottom 5%; correlation), return on intelligence as a project ratio, an all-agent company he ran and shut down, and his estimate that under 10% of engineers in large firms use agentic coding tools effectively, with identity threat as the main barrier.
