The AIX Files is out!
AI agents might sound like something for your IT people to worry about. But if you’re a business leader or HR professional, it’s something you need to pay serious attention to as they are going to change your world, profoundly affecting how work gets done, how teams are built, and how your people are managed, trained and supported.
In a recent study titled, "Large Language Models Pass the Turing Test," researchers has participants hold 5 minute conversations with GPT-4.5; when they were asked to guess who was the real human and who was the AI, 73% picked GPT-4.5.
According to a recent survey titled “Advances and Challenges in Foundation Agents: From Brain-Inspired Intelligence to Evolutionary, Collaborative, and Safe Systems,” we are standing on the threshold of a dramatic shift in how AI interacts with our organizations—not just at the system level, but across workflows, teams, and leadership itself.
The column in today's AIX Files draws from the survey and its findings (and other sources) in breaking down what AI agents really are, how they’re built, how to prepare for the impact of agents that learn, adapt, collaborate, and evolve within the enterprise, and why having this understanding is essential for business leaders, HR professionals, and anyone shaping the future of work.
Today's AIX Files re-ups a conversation in a series that we've done with one of our AIX Factor co-hosts, David Foote of the eponymous Foote Parters, called The Big Shift: A Hard Look at Soft Skills.
