Hey everyone, welcome to another Five Minute Leader. Today, I wanted to share a little bit on where I'm seeing AI in the workplace because there's been a lot of conversation and a lot of debate on this. If you simply look at what a lot of pundits are saying and what people are posting on social media, it makes it sound like AI is really making its way into organizations and taking over the world. But the reality is that we’re not as far ahead as you might think.

I run a group called Future of Work Leaders. We have around 40 Chief Human Resource Officers from companies around the world, and we talk about AI a lot. If you're curious to learn more about the group, you can go to FutureofWorkLeaders.com to check it out. We recently had a meeting in Dallas where some of these CHROs came together, and of course, the topic of AI came up.

The reality is that most organizations are what I would call cautiously optimistic when it comes to AI. In other words, they’re experimenting with it, testing it out, and playing around with it, but it’s not as if AI is running rampant inside organizations. It doesn’t have access to all the data and information, and it’s not having a massive impact just yet.
