How Managers Can Help Employees Sort Out Office Issues Without AI
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming integrated into the world around us. Whether it’s asking Siri or ChatGPT a question or relying on automated suggestions and self-driving cars, we are being increasingly inundated with AI tools all around us. AI chatbots allow anyone with a wifi connection and a laptop or smartphone to tap in a prompt that ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini will answer back with anything from a low-fat lasagna recipe to the safest way to jump-start a car batt

AI Was Supposed to Be the Great Equalizer. Who It Names as an ICT Expert Says Otherwise
When the World Economic Forum called generative AI society's new equalizer in early 2024, the case rested on a specific promise: that AI would compress the visibility gap between the people the system had historically rewarded and the people it had historically overlooked. UNESCO's research that same year found the opposite pattern. Across major large language models, women were depicted in domestic roles far more often than men — four times as often by Llama 2 — and female

AI is Everywhere. So Why Are So Many Businesses Still Stuck?
Artificial intelligence is now firmly in the mainstream, but adoption still looks uneven once you get past the surface. Deloitte reported on 31 March 2026 that 86% of family businesses are already using AI either actively or selectively, yet 48% also said they are only moderately or insufficiently invested in the operational technology needed to support them now and in the future. That gap says a lot about where businesses are right now: interested, active, but not always rea
