Executive Summary This week confirms a clear shift: AI is now embedded in infrastructure, governance, and core systems, not just tools. The impact is operational — affecting risk, ownership, security, and how work is designed. Below are the only updates from last week that materially matter. What actually changed last week: 1) Enterprise AI is shifting to governance + infrastructure Large vendors and governments are now coordinating on how AI is deployed, not launching flashy tools. Why this matters at work: AI decisions are moving upstream (IT, ops, leadership). Expect more rules, fewer random tools. 2) Big tech doubled down on AI spend Meta and others significantly increased 2026 AI infrastructure investment. Why this matters at work: AI capability will keep improving quickly — waiting for “AI to stabilise” is no longer realistic. 3) AI is replacing heavy manual computation NVIDIA released open AI models that outperform traditional simulation systems (weather, risk, planning). Why this matters at work: AI is now replacing entire workflows, not just assisting tasks. 4) Governments are adopting AI via open + controlled models UK launched AI teams using open tools with strict ownership and safeguards. Why this matters at work: Future workplace AI = controlled, auditable, role-based, not free-for-all chatbots. 5) AI-driven cyber threats increased Attackers are using AI to scale phishing, reconnaissance, and exploits. Why this matters at work: Security risk is rising even if your AI usage is low. 🔍 Clear Signals (No Interpretation Needed) - AI is now operational, not experimental - Infrastructure matters more than prompts - Governance is catching up fast - AI replaces processes, not just effort - Security risk increases alongside capability 🎯 This Week’s Focus (Actionable) If AI is being used in your work: - Document where - Limit access - Define ownership Have a great start to the week and stay productive! — Filtered. Factual. Useful.

Happy Monday everyone 👋 Quick check-in to start the week. What’s one part of your work that already feels a bit heavier than it needs to? That’s the lens for this week. We’re focusing on using basic AI to support everyday work — emails, meetings, admin, and the small tasks that quietly drain time and energy. Nothing advanced. Nothing extra to learn. Just practical ways to make the work you’re already doing feel lighter. Looking forward to hearing where you’d like the most help this week!
