Looking forward to spending time with this piece.

Definitely, enterprise AI works best when all layers are understood together, Meghan.

This really is a whole new ball game. How we choose to navigate it will define the future.

Our brain health really is shaped by the small, consistent choices we make every day. I love how you’ve highlighted the balance between nutrition, movement, rest and mental stimulation.

It’s reassuring to know that simple habits like sleep, learning and stress management can make such a lasting difference to our cognitive wellbeing.

Robert Studholme in my cloister/starship class I do exactly that after forcing them to read in class and argmapping in groups and restricting the domain to only a few papers they can use. And I agree that for some students that play along seem to work well and they quickly realise that good AI work is more time consuming than the old school approach. Because the helpful bit is adversarial mode and it basically asks the student to do an extra layer of work. But I have the nagging feeling that in my class they do it, in other classes they adapt it to become an anti-detection strategy. I feel a bit guilty at times I might be enabling significantly more advanced cheating strategies. It is also confusing the Academic Integrity process because a student can play dumb and say that the different confusing practices around AI, some people banning it, some people actively encouraging within guardrails like we experimented, has generated whatever cheating they are being accused off.

Elaine. Exactly, intelligence without connectivity can’t create real enterprise value.

Emotional intelligence shapes how people lead, communicate, and build relationships.

Right, Sanjiv. Early rollouts often expose how unprepared systems are for autonomous actions.

Most founders frame this as an AI capability discussion. It's actually a system governance layer problem. In my audits of B2B SMBs implementing AI, I consistently find a Growth Ceiling where the deployed AI tool exacerbates existing Operational Waste, costing around $10K-$30K per month in lost efficiency and re-work. The mechanism is simple: AI amplifies existing decision architecture flaws; without clear human governance over data input and output interpretation, the system automates and scales previous human biases or inefficiencies. This creates a Brand Contradiction when the AI-driven output doesn't align with the promised value, leading to customer churn in 8-12% of cases I've tracked. The problem isn't the AI's intelligence; it's the lack of friction-as-design in the human-AI loop. What's scaling isn't intelligence. It’s unexamined structural leakage. https://businessforensics.tech/

“not a handbook of rigid rules, but rather “a process of shared discernment” this is how I see principled governance especially board governance. And you are right, a document like this needs reflection.

Paolo Spada I’m also using Class Companion to generate a revision trail showing how texts were constructed over multiple submissions. Its feedback is immediate and the majority of students seem to be very much in favour of writing with it. I’m currently developing a new version of an academic writing course that is tailored to the situation in my university, and integrates AI as a tool for students to interrogate and improve on. We hope to publish it as an OER soon

Exactly, Jeremiah. Isolated layers can’t deliver the full value of enterprise AI.

It is the responsibility of all governments in the world to NOW care for their people to not get left behind in the AI revolution coming to all of us - by caring for maximizing equality of wealth coming from the unprecedented innovations ahead of us. If they don't, this wave will erase the wealth of the many and it will let explode the wealth of the few to incredible heights. Sadly, I do not see governments act appropriately yet, as if they did not yet get it at all. So in result of this, there will be a very hard phase for the many until the corrections have been made. Better to act now! Think about what you vote for!

Helen Shaw in my class in which I have added it as a requirement 70% did it. I assume some asked AI to do it and then among them the smart ones cross-check well by reading the paper. But given the level of concept stretching I feel that 30% only did a mechanical check, they just searched the pdf for the existence of the word in the page, ending up with superficially correct references. The smartest one probably realised that is faster to do the check manually because doing the cross-checking well takes as much time as reading, or maybe hybrid, use AI, but then read. In the dissertation only the few students that took my class added pages everywhere, because the university asks for Harvard that does not have page references for indirect references.

Well said, Dr. Jessica. System design matters far more than individual capabilities alone.

Six years in HR and the pattern was remarkably consistent. The people who got promoted weren't always the most technically skilled. They were the ones who could read a room, handle a difficult conversation without making it worse, and own a mistake without making everyone around them feel the need to manage their reaction to it. Number three on this list — pause before reacting — is the one that separated the high performers from the high maintenance. Emotions are just information is one of the most useful reframes I've ever come across. The people who internalized that stopped being reactive and started being effective.

Right, Susan. Fragmented systems struggle because the layers aren’t aligned properly.

EQ is not what you say about yourself. It shows up in how people feel after dealing with you. If your team feels tense, something in your control is still off.

Michelle Kassorla, Ph.D. "My experience is a literature professor: this was happening, Long before AI." Yes. In fact, I am becoming convinced that AI has not created a single new problem for education. It has exposed a large number of problems which already existed, but had been successfully hidden from sight.
