Meet The AI Super-Users Of 2026: Millennial Managers
"AI adoption in companies has moved beyond initial experimentation and intrigue, and has now progressed towards a usage phase where the ultimate question leaders must decide is, "How do we propel our teams forward with AI implementation so we're ahead in our industry?" McKinsey just released a report in which they referenced the term AI "super-agency" coined by Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, and described it as a state where AI is being effectively deployed and used to multiply impact effectively integrate into every part of our work."
"AI superagency is when "individuals, empowered by AI, supercharge their creativity, productivity, and positive impact. Even those not directly engaging with AI can benefit from its broader effects on knowledge, efficiency, and innovation," says McKinsey. The potential of AI is significant, yet the McKinsey report notes that most senior leaders are either unaware or moving too slowly and risk falling behind altogether."
"The AI innovation is comparable to what the steam engine was to the industrial revolution, the invention of the car was to the transport industry of horse and carriage, or the invention of the internet was to information sharing. In fact, AI has greater potential than all of these, notes McKinsey, because it can democratize access to skill building, information sharing, and significantly improve the quality of our work across multiple layers and all industries."
AI adoption has progressed from experimentation to a usage phase requiring leaders to implement AI to stay competitive. The concept of AI superagency describes individuals empowered by AI who amplify creativity, productivity, and impact, with broader organizational benefits even for nonusers. Many senior leaders are moving too slowly and risk falling behind in AI deployment. AI's potential rivals past transformative technologies and can democratize skill building, information sharing, and work quality across industries. Millennials are emerging as active AI power users who will shape how effectively organizations adopt and scale AI.
