Everyone's talking about AI breakthroughs.
They're missing the real shift.
AI quietly turned from shiny toy into core infrastructure ↓
In 2025, AI stopped being a demo and started running the back office.
Reasoning models hit near PhD performance.
Agents now write code, sift contracts, and run workflows end to end.
The tech is no longer the question.
The real question is whether leaders, teams, and policies can keep up.
Some companies already made the jump.
Disney wired gen‑AI deep into its studios.
Others are using AI to review thousands of documents in hours.
Meanwhile, the same tech is powering election deepfakes at scale.
AI is now electricity, not a gadget.
That should change how you act this year.
↳ Start with one critical workflow and ask: what if an AI agent did 80% of this?
↳ Audit your “AI risk surface”: data leaks, bias, security, reputation.
↳ Train teams on prompts, verification, and escalation, not just tools.
↳ Define what must stay human: final decisions, accountability, trust.
Leaders who treat AI as infrastructure will quietly compound an edge.
Those who treat it as a novelty will wake up disrupted.
Your pace of adaptation is now your real competitive moat.
Have you already moved AI from experiment to infrastructure in your org?
What’s the biggest blocker you’re facing?
