Insightful perspective, Roland Busch. AI offers immense data and analytical power, but the uncertainty and nuanced judgment required in strategic thinking remain uniquely human. The true potential lies in how leaders combine AI capabilities with human experience to make informed, forward-looking decisions. This synergy is what will define successful leadership in the digital age. Looking forward to more of your thoughts on embracing AI to augment—not replace—human creativity and insight. #Leadership #AI #StrategicThinking #Innovation #FutureOfWork #HumanAndMachine

Agentic AI is here, but not everything it promises is grounded in reality. Here’s the truth: Automating repeatable, time-sensitive tasks? Smart. Expecting AI to replace strategic thinking? Not yet.

Generative AI isn’t just hype anymore. In 2025, it’s growing up. ✔️ Smarter LLMs that run faster and cheaper ✔️ AI agents built to act, not just answer ✔️ Synthetic data reshaping how models are trained But here’s the real shift → it’s no longer about what AI could do. It’s about how enterprises can apply it reliably and at scale. We broke it down in this carousel — from hallucination fixes to the rise of agentic AI — so you can see what’s really driving adoption this year. 👉 Swipe through to understand how AI for companies is maturing in 2025, and why early movers will set the pace.
