Organizations face a hidden risk of "cognitive concentration" in their AI environments, where multiple applications may rely on the same underlying models or infrastructure, limiting genuine vendor choice. A new framework, the Cognitive Concentration Index, aims to help leaders measure this dependency by assessing concentration, criticality, substitutability, change exposure, and validation of AI-assisted decisions. The index suggests investing in resilience for high-consequence tasks, such as critical financial approvals or procurement, where switching providers or models would be difficult. AI
