Today's leaders face a paradox: the incredible speed of change in the workplace, alongside a deep human need for connection, which requires courage and vulnerability. Brown explained that we can choose to be on "team technology" or "team human," but "the future will belong to those of us who can straddle the paradox of humanity and technology." Both are needed, she affirmed.

Now, Honig is bringing her innovation-first mindset to Samsung in the newly created role that puts her at the helm of the tech giant's customer experience and AI transformation. Her remit? Help customers understand how they can use AI more day-to-day. "I believe we are going through the most exciting phases of change in our history," she adds. "The AI revolution is one of the most important technological shifts we'll experience in our lifetime."

That dream might be creeping out of reach for younger people trying to break into the industry, which looks to be on the cusp of a big shift as firms trim their ranks, double down on AI, and tighten performance standards across the career ladder, industry analysts told Business Insider. No one is exactly sure how it will play out, as much of the future will depend on where the economy goes and how quickly AI is adopted.

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev told David Rubenstein this week on Bloomberg Wealth that the race to implement AI in business is a "huge platform shift" comparable to the mobile and cloud transformations in the mid-2000s, but "perhaps bigger." "In the same way that every company became a technology company, I think that every company will become an AI company," he explained. "But that will happen at an even more accelerated rate."

A backend nerve center for the government with procurement, technology and real estate duties that cross agencies, GSA was an early stronghold for the controversial DOGE effort. Tech billionaire and then-DOGE head Elon Musk himself visited the agency in January. DOGE associates were even spending nights in a GSA building in D.C., although during Ehikian's first town hall at the agency, he told employees that there was no DOGE team at GSA when asked about the efficiency group.

Agencies buying a higher-tier bundle of ServiceNow's information technology products will see discounts as high as 70% though September 2028, the US General Services Administration said Wednesday in a statement. The deal follows a spate of similar announcements touting big discounts on software and cloud products used by federal workers, as the GSA has sought to centralize negotiations with technology vendors to leverage the federal government's purchasing power.

As businesses like yours turn to AI to drive innovation, data has become the strategic lever for agility and growth. Yet for many organizations, the promise of AI remains out of reach because entrenched legacy data systems stand in the way of progress. These aging architectures, characterized by siloed data, technical debt, and a lack of scalability, create significant roadblocks that inhibit innovation and increase costs.

The State of Embedded Software Quality and Safety 2025 from Black Duck reveals a disconnect between the organizational use of AI and AI security. The embedded software landscape is transforming, largely driven by AI, with 89.3% of organizations already utilizing AI coding assistants and 96.1% integrating products with open source AI models. However, 21.1% of organizations still lack confidence in their capabilities to prevent AI from opening the door to vulnerabilities.

Every company wants to have an AI strategy: A bold vision to do more with less. But there's a growing problem-one that few executives want to say out loud. AI initiatives aren't delivering the returns they were hoping for. In fact, many leaders now say they haven't seen meaningful returns at all. IBM recently found that only 1 in 4 AI projects hit the expected ROI. And BCG's research goes further still: 75% of businesses have seen no tangible value from their AI investments.

The deals were part of GSA's OneGov strategy, in which the government streamlines the acquisition of services by operating as one entity; that way individual federal agencies don't have to negotiate their own separate deals.
