Are you wondering how to enable your people, products, and brand to appear in AI-generated answers?

Check out the New Rules of Brand Visibility, which outlines the rapid shift from #SEO to #AEO, the art and science of optimizing AI engines to understand and surface your brand.

The industry is racing to claim “agentic AI,” but the reality looks very different. Join @DavidLinthicum for a discussion that reveals why only 17% of enterprises are actually building real AI agents, what distinguishes assistants from agents, and why reasoning—not prompting—defines the next frontier of autonomous intelligence.

Explore the next disruption in AI, and it won’t be a model. It’ll be a new asset class made possible by On-chain attribution and rewards.

Enterprises need trusted AI, and creators need fair rewards. And today’s extraction-based AI architecture delivers neither.

My new analysis breaks down how @OpenledgerHQ is enabling on-chain attribution + tokenized intelligence, which could reshape the economics of AI, and solve the trust gap that 72% of enterprises now cite as their #1 barrier.

This shift could redefine who creates value in AI… who captures it … and who builds a truly trusted enterprise AI platform.

Check out #IBM's recent trio of innovations announced at their #TechXchange2025 conference. They are slowly, but surely, building a trusted platform for #DigitalLabor transformation, industrializing AI Agents.

Agentic AI is coming to life; don't fall behind.

🌀 Just completed an informative interview with Vladimir Lukic at @BCG ( Boston Consulting Group) about the #AI Value Gap study they just finished, which found that only 5% are realizing measurable ROI from AI.

One of the main reasons some succeed is that they create shared responsibilities for strategy and execution. That data is eye-opening:

🔹 70% of AI success is driven by shared ownership
🔹 1.5x more likely to achieve RO via shared ownership
🔹 95% are stuck in pilot mode
🔹 2x greater value from agentic AI by 2028

Enterprises need to treat AI—and now agentic AI—as a digital labor transformation initiative, not just an IT initiative.

As Lou Gerstner, ex-CEO of IBM, once said,

“I thought culture was part of the game, but it turned out to be the entire game.”

That’s never been truer than in the AI era.

Explore the whole discussion and the study on how leading organizations are closing the AI value gap, and what every company can do before it’s too late.

I just published new research on the scope of digital labor transformation among 625 enterprises. There are some very surprising findings and four key takeaways.

1. The Rise of digital labor is real
2. Knowledge workers are the next frontier
3. Organizations are siloed by design (Bad!)
4. Trust is the overriding challenge

Digital Labor @ Work isn’t theory anymore, it's reality. Discover how Agentic AI is revolutionizing the way homeowner association management companies operate, create value, and engage with their communities.

In our latest Next Frontiers of AI podcast, I speak with Haoyu Zha, the founder and CEO of HOAi, to discuss the keys to success and showcase real digital workers in action, helping humans perform knowledge work.

“HOAi has helped resolve more than 800,000 tasks this year alone. That’s a huge labor savings for our customers, and we’re already serving more than 1.5 million homes.” — Haoyu Zha

Learn why he predicts that within the next three years, AI agents will be able to assist in 80–90% of the knowledge work currently handled by humans. What limits us isn’t labor anymore, it’s imagination.

Why #DigitalLabor matters: IT spend is 2–5% of revenue, but labor is often 60%+ of expenses. The biggest AI ROI will come from augmenting knowledge work across finance, operations, and customer service with AI agents that can reason, plan, and act.

👉 Watch now and decide for yourself: seeing is believing.

WOW: Tulsi Gabbard tells @MattGaetz the media is silent about Obama’s treasonous conspiracy because they know:

Covering the truth would force them to admit their culpability in perpetuating the “historic lie”

They always knew—and they lied anyway

@ns123abc How about causal reasoning which is what all humans do? Correlation doesn’t imply causation. LLMs are fundamentally flawed from a perspective of decision intelligence.

Watch this fancinating conversations with Stu Frost, the CEO and founder of Geminos Software, on how they are delivering hashtag #AI that knows why.

The mark of trustworthy AI business decision-making is dependent on extending correlational AI (#LLMs) into the realm of AI reasoning.

Learn about next-gen AI platforms that incorporate Causal Knowledge Graphs and Graph RAG, which build upon the Knowledge Graphs to infuse the mathematical principles of cause and effect.

These new constructs can differentiate #AIAgents by enabling them to “reason” about why events occur and how various factors (or decisions) affect outcomes.
