What happens to organizational culture when AI removes much of the work that traditionally brought people together?

In Sulava AI-Native Culture – Research.pdf, Sean McGuire explores one of the most important questions facing modern organizations: if AI scales work, what will scale trust? The paper introduces the AI-Native Culture Framework, a new perspective on how organizations can embrace AI while strengthening the human connections that drive engagement, innovation, and long-term success.

The central argument is simple but powerful: AI can replace coordination. AI cannot replace trust. As AI takes over more administrative and operational tasks, leaders must become more intentional about creating the meaningful human interactions that culture depends on.
