Ethan Mollick Says Agent Coordination Is Easier Than Expected

Ethan Mollick says he was wrong to think coordinating AI agents would require careful human-designed management structures.

He points to personal agents like dots and Muse, and to a swarm of thousands of OpenAI agents that solved a Navier-Stokes problem in 88 hours with thin coordination.

He argues many management problems stem from human limits, which agents lack, so people should mainly guide direction while agents handle organizing.
