1. Even CEOs use AI for Emails

Top executives are leaning on AI tools for day-to-day communication. LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky revealed that he uses AI assistance for almost every high‑stakes email he sends, including messages to Microsoft’s CEO and other world leaders.

He describes using AI as like having a “second brain” that knows him well and helps ensure he “sounds super smart” in important communications.

Roslansky doesn’t let the AI just write whole emails autonomously. Instead, he uses Microsoft’s Copilot as an interactive writing partner that asks him questions and guides him through refining his message step by step.

The takeaway

Use AI tools like ChatGPT to polish your important emails. Many CEOs rely on it, so there’s no reason to feel uneasy about using it yourself.

2. AI Agents Are Coming: Are You Ready?

The next big shift in AI continues to be toward “agentic” AI (systems that can act autonomously on tasks) and many companies are now gearing up for it.

A new global survey by Cisco finds that 83% of organizations plan to deploy AI agents, and nearly 40% expect these agents to be working alongside employees within one year. (Think of AI agents as advanced bots that can execute complex actions, not just answer questions.)

However, this enthusiasm might be racing ahead of readiness. Only about 15% of companies say their current IT infrastructure can handle the complexity and data needs of sophisticated AI systems

The takeaway

Companies that strategically build the technical foundation and skills for AI are reaping outsized benefits, while those that don’t may struggle as autonomous AI tools become standard business practice
