Ah, I didn't realize you were including machines here - organizations are usually assumed to be composed of people, but I suppose a GAI could count as a "person" for this purpose.

However, isn't this dependent on the AI not going foom? Because if it does go foom, I can't see a superintelligence remaining under any pre-singularity organization's control.

I can't say I've ever heard of that one. For example, Wikipedia has this:

An organisation (or organization – see spelling differences) is a social entity that has a collective goal and is linked to an external environment.

If you are not considering the possibility of artifacts being components of organizations, that may explain some of the cross-talk.
