Generative AI news for the enterprise

During a recent conversation with an executive, one simple reflection struck me. For him, AI adoption is not measured by the number of ChatGPT or Copilot licenses deployed. It is measured by the maturity level of its use cases. ➡️ Level 1: Chatting with a chatbot. ➡️ Level 2: Delegating administrative tasks to an assistant. ➡️ Level 3: Obtaining the output of an expert. ➡️ Level 4: Producing what a specialist (developer, graphic designer, analyst...) would have created. ➡️ Level 5: Creating something unique that no expert could have imagined alone. And perhaps an ultimate level: the famous "Wow" effect. That moment when AI produces a result that far exceeds what you hoped to achieve. The real question, then, is perhaps not "are we using AI?" but rather: At what level of adoption are we really?

This edition explores 15 key signals shaping agentic AI, open models, adoption and governance. A practical briefing for understanding what is already changing in enterprise workflows and identifying the next concrete actions to take.

You are investing in AI. But are you actually getting any ROI? While companies are multiplying deployments of Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, and AI agents, value creation often remains difficult to demonstrate. Why? Because technology is only one part of the equation. According to BCG, 70% of the value created by AI comes from people, skills, and ways of working, while Microsoft finds that 59% of leaders still struggle to measure the ROI of their AI investments. The real challenge is no longer technological. It is human. ➡️ How do you measure AI skills? ➡️ How do you identify priority populations? ➡️ How do you transform adoption into measurable value?
