For many workers, artificial intelligence has been, aside from Chatgpt, mostly all talk. Too many new tools for the workplace were clunky and inaccurate. That could be changing rather quickly, as cutting-edge pens and pins and glasses and apps are increasingly helping knowledge workers in daily meetings and important conversations, often by tossing in key pieces of information or data at opportune times. Indeed, seventy-five percent of employees are using AI at work, according to Microsoft.

For years, the tech worker would receive one to two messages each week from recruiters looking to fill roles. This season, she’s receiving one to two per day, and she’s taking them seriously, despite having just started a new job over the summer. At a time when much of the job market remains tight, one group of workers appears headed for a heyday in opportunities. According to a new report, a remarkable 44% of tech employees plan to take a new job in the next 12 months.

In the near future, leaders who aren’t using generative AI in their daily workflows will discover they are markedly less efficient than their peers, say experts. Thirty-nine percent of executives and managers regularly use generative-AI tools, such as ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini (up from 22% last year), with an additional 16% consistently using them outside of work, according to a recent survey. For many, using AI in one form or another has become a norm.

Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, one person has always been right: the boss. The best leaders wielded that power diplomatically, gathering information and advice, listening to naysayers and advocates alike, and then announcing the path forward. It was the right path. For anyone to suggest otherwise was unheard of.  But experts say a new and unprecedented dynamic in the corporate hierarchy may be coming, one in which AI may function to second-guess leadership.

Not long ago, a CEO only had to mention AI on an earnings call and investors would send the company’s stock soaring. Things have changed. Where last year investors rewarded companies for spending big to get into the AI game, now they’re calling them out for it. Recently, share prices of major tech companies have been dinged, with investors expressing frustration that AI spending, now $200 billion a year by Big Tech firms alone, could be cutting into profits.
