Companies have spent billions racing to adopt artificial intelligence. But as AI moves from experimentation into production, are businesses discovering that the real costs are much higher than expected?
AI agents are moving beyond simple chatbots and isolated tasks. The next step is agent-to-agent communication, where AI systems operated by different companies could negotiate, exchange information, make decisions and even conduct business with each other.
AI was supposed to save us time. Instead, it may be creating a new problem: AI slop (polished-looking emails, reports, presentations, research and code that someone else has to review, fact-check and fix).
AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot are spreading rapidly through the workplace, but simply giving employees access to AI isn't the same as teaching them how to use it effectively.
Hackers are using AI, social engineering, and legitimate business tools to make cyberattacks look like normal work. Instead of breaking through security systems, they study how employees communicate, impersonate trusted vendors, manipulate email conversations, and exploit everyday business processes.
