PSA from Hugging Face's Margaret Mitchell: Don't let the AI hype cause you to launch an AI product that isn't very good, just to say you have AI products.

Our January events are kicking off with the question on everyone's mind: What does all this AI mean for how we work, hire, and advance in our careers? Sania Khan is joining us on January 7th to dig into this topic, through questions like: - What happens to entry-level roles and the traditional career ladder now that AI can do the tasks emerging professionals typically do? - Using AI will only be a competitive advantage as an employee for a short time. How can knowledge workers stand out in an AI-driven workforce? -  Will AI agents begin taking over entire roles, rather than augmenting the humans that do them now? Join us for free and bring your questions. Link to RSVP in the comments.

Bhavesh Dayalji, Chief AI Officer at S&P Global, says you need to stop looking to your ICs for your AI ROI. Individual contributors WILL likely have the highest productivity gains to prove, because of the type of knowledge work they do, but they're not in charge of your change management strategy. Want to find the AI ROI? Start asking your leaders how they're thinking about AI's broader impact.

It's here! Our latest AI Proficiency Report reveals insights from 5,000+ knowledge workers, including: Nearly half of employees in companies with AI bans use it regularly 👇 🧑💻 Nearly 6% use it daily, and 18% use it once a week or more. ⭐ 36% say it’s either in their top 3 productivity tools or the most useful productivity tool they use. ☹️ 43% would be disappointed to not use AI in their work anymore. The big 🚩s here: Only 23% use a paid tool & most of them think they’re more advanced AI users than they really are. The full report is now available for download, link in comments.

Scott Galloway's take on including AI in creative conversations: It earns its seat at the table. Not everything it gives you is going to be great (isn't that true of all of us?) but it's going to give you a ton of new avenues to explore. We'll leave the link to his entire AI:ROI Conference session in the comments. Speaking of - If you missed Scott's annual Predictions event yesterday, he shared a few ways he thinks AI will evolve how we work and live. The recording is available for one week, exclusively to Section members (Code PREDICTIONS25 gets you 25% off membership 😉)

Moderna's VP of AI Brice Challamel's take on AI shame? It's a shame NOT to use AI. He considers it a democratization of enhanced ability - suddenly tasks that used to be out of scope for us are just as possible as they are for everyone else. So if you're not asking for the ROI of laptops, should you be asking for the ROI of a tool that allows us to do our jobs better? Let us know what you think in the comments, and we'll drop the link to watch Brice's full session at AI:ROI!

This Friday, join our CEO Gregory Shove at Culturati Summit as he walks you through his personal breakthrough with AI as an exec: Its power as a thought partner. He'll share the ways AI can sharpen your decision making, suss out your own biases, and help you see around corners to what's ahead. Reserve your spot for free. Link in comments.
